Summary
A cynical, disabled film director with borderline
personality disorder gets recruited to join a secret
organization that oversees relations between Hollywood and
Fairyland in this Nebula Award–nominated and Tiptree
Award Honor Book that’s the first novel in a new urban
fantasy series from debut author Mishell Baker. A year ago, Millie lost her legs and her filmmaking career
in a failed suicide attempt. Just when she’s sure the
credits have rolled on her life story, she gets a second
chance with the Arcadia Project: a secret organization that
polices the traffic to and from a parallel reality filled
with creatures straight out of myth and fairy tales. For her first assignment, Millie is tasked with tracking
down a missing movie star who also happens to be a nobleman
of the Seelie Court. To find him, she’ll have to
smooth-talk Hollywood power players and uncover the surreal
and sometimes terrifying truth behind the glamour of
Tinseltown. But stronger forces than just her inner demons
are sabotaging her progress, and if she fails to unravel the
conspiracy behind the noble’s disappearance, not only
will she be out on the streets, but the shattering of a
centuries-old peace could spark an all-out war between
worlds. No pressure.
