When sixteen-year-old Ellie Brown rescues an injured crow, she has no idea that there is a secret society of goblins living underneath her small, mining town, or that the bird is in fact their future king. She’s sparked the goblins’ interest and they want her. Dead or alive is agreeable. Her only protection comes from a childhood friend who reappears mysteriously after being gone for eleven years. But it’s his polar opposite brother, one whose intentions aren’t quite as honorable, that threatens to steal her heart.
