Book Description:
Magic is necessary to all
things, but too much of it is sending the emotions of the Dark Fae Court to
extremes.
The Fae Nation’s championship
boxing match is the highlight of the year, but there’s a chaos-creating surge
of energy accompanying every exhibition bout leading up to the main event. With
the championship looming, the Special Collections Team is called to Las Vegas
to investigate the magical disturbances at the Red Raven casino, the home of
the volatile Dark Fae Court.
But the fae are not the only
ones affected by the instability. The Dark Court is a hostile environment for
the SCT, dragging them closer to emotional breakdowns and lines drawn in the
sand. Dangerous royals, randy revelers and relationship dramas have the Special
Collections Team close to folding, until a pair of changelings ups the ante.
Excerpt:
“Can we get on with it?” Greel broke in. “I need to be on my
way, and I’d be just as happy leaving now, if you lot can’t focus.”
“By all means.” Beryl’s voice dripped sugar. “If you’re
scared of being torn apart by the Dark Court, your entrails served for dinner
at the downstairs buffet, then do begin the briefing. I’m surprised they
haven’t banged down the door for you yet, as it is.”
“I do not fear the fae,” Greel sneered.
Beryl smiled with all of her teeth showing. “You should.”
“Enough!” I raised my hands, unable to take another moment.
It seemed we had learned nothing on our first case. “Just tell us what the
mission is. The sooner we begin our investigations, the sooner we can get out
of Las Vegas, and away from the fae.”
Beryl patted her hair. “I see you have the sense to fear the
fae, Niccolo.”
I gritted my teeth to hold back my angry words, which would
serve no purpose other than getting the former assassin bent out of shape.
However, it was on the tip of my tongue to tell her, in no uncertain terms,
that one belligerent fairy in my
company was more than enough, and I did not need to surround myself with a
whole Court more.
As I said, there was no reason to voice such a thing out
loud, especially not to an overly emotional woman thoroughly skilled in all the
ways a single finger can kill a man. And especially not when said finger
sported a triangular hunk of metal large enough to rip a man’s throat open.
Instead, I asked Greel to continue.
“There have been anomalies in the flow of magic through this
casino.” He passed his glare around the table, staring at each of us in turn.
“The disturbances have grown stronger lately, and with the exhibition matches
already underway, we’ve been able to find a correlation between the power
fluctuations and the bouts.”
“But that’s not surprising.” Zahra shifted in her seat,
though she kept her cheek pressed to the tabletop. Her voice scraped against my
eardrums like sandpaper, and she moaned in pain when
Giovanni rubbed her
shoulder. “More and more people would be coming to the casino to see the
championship match, right?”
Greel lifted his lip. “You are correct.”
“It’s the highlight of the year for my Nation,” Beryl told
her.
“With so many fae
already here,” Zahra managed to lift her head a bare inch to look at me, “and
so many tourists popping in, and then all the others gathering to see the
fight, it makes sense that the magic would be stronger.”
I cocked my head. “She’s right.”
“Not exactly,” Beryl protested. “Morrigan keeps the citizens
of other Nations strictly prohibited to the lobby and the boxing arena, but apparently
the spikes in magic are affecting the gaming floors and nightclubs, as well.”
Our angel liaison waved his hand. “The disturbances have
grown beyond what’s normal for these events. The magic seems to be human.”
