Y/N has spent years helping Stiles Stilinski survive Beacon Hills’ constant supernatural disasters while quietly ignoring two very inconvenient facts: she’s completely in love with her best friend, and he’s been in love with her twin sister for years. Then the strange things start. Dogs howl when she walks by. Lights flicker around her. Lydia’s banshee instincts react unpredictably whenever Y/N is near the Nemeton, and the supernatural creatures of Beacon Hills seem to notice her more with every passing day. What begins as subtle wrongness quickly spirals into something far more dangerous when ancient pack lore resurfaces—lore about “anchors,” rare individuals capable of stabilizing supernatural bonds and grounding the power of an entire pack. Now Derek Hale is watching her too closely, Isaac keeps gravitating toward her without understanding why, Parrish’s hellhound senses react to her like she’s standing in open flame, and Stiles is beginning to realize his feelings for Y/N may not be as platonic as he always assumed. As the Nemeton wakes and enemies begin hunting whatever Y/N is becoming, the pack discovers Beacon Hills may have been waiting for her long before she ever knew it herself.
For six years, Y/N has been trying to make it as a singer-songwriter in Los Angeles. Six years of open mics. Tiny venues. Coffee shop gigs. Rejection emails. Side jobs. Almost-breaks. At twenty-four, she’s beginning to wonder if everyone else was right—that maybe some dreams aren’t meant to come true. Then a thirty-second clip of an unreleased song changes everything. Overnight, strangers start listening. Industry professionals start calling. Doors that had always been closed suddenly begin to open. But success isn’t as simple as she imagined. As Y/N navigates viral fame, complicated friendships, first love, and the pressure of turning her deepest feelings into music, she begins to discover that the hardest part of chasing a dream isn’t getting it. It’s figuring out who you are once it’s finally within reach. A story about music, heartbreak, found family, and the terrifying possibility of being seen.
Y/N came to Ireland for one thing: a master’s degree in Folklore & Ethnology, with a thesis on how trauma and conflict reshape the stories families tell. She did not come to uncover the buried history of one of Ireland’s most powerful criminal families. And she definitely did not come to become part of their prophecy. The Kelleys are old money, old secrets, and older blood. Their history is tangled with organized crime, political violence, disappearances, and a legend passed down for generations about a woman from across the sea who will stand between three divided men. Cillian is the controlled heir trying to outrun his family’s past. Ronan is the dangerous charmer who has never learned how to stay out of trouble. Declan is the silent protector who notices everything and says almost nothing. None of them expect her. Y/N is brilliant, stubborn, freckled, strawberry blonde, and spectacularly oblivious to the fact that all three men are falling for her. But as her research starts uncovering secrets someone is willing to kill to keep buried, an old prophecy begins to feel less like folklore and more like a warning: Three shall stand beside her. None shall stand above her. Let no man demand her choosing. A dark academia, Irish mob, folklore-soaked why-choose romance filled with buried secrets, dangerous loyalty, slow-burn obsession, found family, and three men who would burn the world down before letting anything happen to her.
