Raised to view the world through science, she is surrounded by magic she cannot see. Orphaned Charlotte "Charlie" Whitfield has been raised by her eccentric uncle on the shores of Scotland's most famous loch, hunting for scientific evidence of the beast that lives within. But there's more than one monster on the loose, and when Charlie's uncle goes missing, she must open her eyes to the truth of what's around her—lest she be taken too. He has dedicated his life to queen and country—but has he found something else to live for? Special agent Asher Burton is on assignment to find the missing scientist, but the circumstances are far more than he bargained for: portals to other realms, a mysterious creature in the waters of Loch Ness, and a deadly Fae unleashed. Asher must pit his wits and will against absolute magic to bring his quarry home—and to protect the remarkable Charlie Whitfield. In a place where nothing is quite what it seems, can Asher and Charlie unravel the mystery in time—or will they fall victim to the menace that threatens to devour them all?
