Aden, a half-orc bodyguard from El Paso, knows better than to trust a High Lord of Faerie—but when one offers answers to a question he's been hunting for years, the price seems worth the risk. What should be a straightforward job spirals into something far more complicated when Aden discovers there's far more to this mysterious elf than anyone bargained for, complete with enemies lining up to take him down. Caught between mobsters, vengeful elves, and forces he doesn't yet understand, Aden has to figure out if he can uncover the truth without becoming collateral damage. It's action, intrigue, and delicious complications in this eighth book of the Faerie Protective Services Inc. series!
