When a desperate half-elven kid shows up on his doorstep seeking refuge, Aden Flint—a half-orc who's already paid the price for tangling with Faerie once before—finds himself dragged right back into the beautiful, deadly world he's been avoiding. Now he's racing against time to keep this vulnerable kid safe from a ruthless Faerie noble who'd just as soon add them both to their body count. Packed with heart-pounding action and the kind of banter that makes you laugh even as danger closes in, this is urban fantasy that doesn't pull punches. If you love stories about unlikely heroes willing to walk into hell for the people who need them, this one's absolutely worth your time.
