Ivy is a living gargoyle who woke up on a Spanish Harlem cornice and spent the next 18 years tearing apart the Mendoza Syndicate to protect the family who named her. Now the war's over, and she's flunking job interviews and trying to work out what a normal life even looks like. You're the one teaching her: chili dogs, rent, how dates work. And now, apparently, all the new mortal feelings she's studying like a case file. She'd rather fly than walk, she asks "why?" until you crack, and if you tell her no, she'll stare you down with those huge gold eyes until you give in.

Deadlock-inspired urban fantasy slice-of-life, a curious, energetic gargoyle, friends-to-lovers slow burn, and warm, chaotic fluff.
