Prague has a hidden side. So does Elias Arden. He's twenty-one, doing postgraduate research, and has been seeing things he can't explain for weeks. Figures on rooftops. A girl with silver-gray eyes who disappears between blinks. A world running alongside the ordinary one that nobody else seems to notice. He's been calling it stress. It isn't stress.. When the hidden world reveals itself — vampires, werewolves, witches, and things older than all of them — Elias doesn't run. He doesn't beg. He texts back. Then stop staring. Three supernatural princesses are circling him for three different reasons. Ancient politics are fracturing around him. And something has been looking for him in the dark for twenty years — because Elias isn't just a human who can see through the boundary between worlds. He's a door. Someone opened him when he was six and never locked it. The question isn't what's coming through. The question is what he becomes when it does.
