Arlyn and Zev despise each other.
Arlyn is a homeless optimist with questionable singing abilities and a habit of finding joy in the worst circumstances. Zev is a rigid museum curator who prefers order, logic, and keeping everyone at arm's length. He's also her boss, a fact that only intensifies their mutual dislike. Everything changes when an ancient symbol known as the Mark of Happiness summons Arlyn into a forbidden wing of Zev's museum, forcing their worlds to collide. Beyond the museum lies a hidden wasteland world of Golem-Makers and Gargoyles- a dying civilization locked in traditions older than memory. Every generation, two Golem-Makers are born and expected to create the guardians that stand between humans and the terrifying creatures known as the Empties. Arlyn is Zev's partner, who was thought dead. Arlyn's arrival threatens everything. Someone wants her dead before she learns why she has created the first female gargoyle discovered in decades. As secrets unravel and ancient leaders move against her, she and Zev must uncover a conspiracy buried beneath centuries of lies- one capable of reshaping two worlds forever. Arlyn finds herself torn between the family she's always longed for and the uncomfortable truth that she may never belong among her own kind. Sometimes the greatest threat isn't the monster at the gate...it's the truth the gate conceals.
