In 1895, London is rife with secrets. The Davenport family is hiding their lost fortune. Lady Julie Bainbridge is doing everything she can to keep her past from becoming exposed. A boy watches everything from the shadows. And the island awaits.
Wendy Davenport can't dodge the bank much longer, and her family's dire circumstances aren't improving. She knows change is on the horizon. It soon comes in the form of Peter, whose name is whispered in the streets by friends and enemies alike. They call him a wish granter. A miracle worker. A demon.
One of those enemies sees an opportunity. Lady Julie Bainbridge, a wealthy woman who knows the truth about the Davenport household. She presents Wendy with a choice-kill Peter and get paid handsomely for her troubles, or all of London will know about her family's ruin.
With no other alternative, Wendy journeys to Neverland with the intention of ending Peter's life. A task that may prove even more difficult as her attraction to him continues to grow.
Will Wendy be able to strike when it matters most, or will the magic of Neverland-and the boy who holds its heart-jeopardize all she holds dear?
