London is a city of secrets, but some secrets are too sick to stay hidden. For centuries, the LineFolk—werecats, nymphs, and other creatures of myth—have survived in the shadows of the Underground, bound to the magical linether that keeps them human. But the fragile peace of the safezones is about to shatter. When a young nymph collapses on the doorstep of the clynic, nurse Hannah Chadwick thinks she’s dealing with a simple human infection. She’s wrong. Within hours, the clynic is besieged by sick LineFolk, and the symptoms are as varied as they are terrifying.

Then Moss, another street child, disappears into the blue mist with a strange woman offering the impossible: stew, blankets, warmth, safety.
