Description
Worlds collide when changeling Avery Hemlock and human Saga Trygg team up to solve magical murders in London.
"I suggest you brush up on your hexes, babes. Sounds like you got a nasty one on your hands."
As the bastard child of the late Erlking, Detective Avery Hemlock is used to being alone. Two-hundred years ago, she preferred it. But after endangering Saga Trygg's life by involving her in a case, Avery must choose solitude for Saga's safety. For once, alone is starting to feel a lot more like lonely.
Following her grandmother's murder, and the discovery of the fey world, Saga is trying to find direction, heal, and figure out where she fits in in this new version of normal. Though she longs to enlist Avery's help, after jeopardizing their last case together and nearly getting herself killed, she knows it's best she stay out of the detective's way.
But when the death of a local witch might be the result of a vicious revenge hex, the enigmatic circumstances and puzzle are too curious to keep them apart. With a case bigger than it appears, the two must uncover secrets even the Winter Council wants to keep.
Nothing is initially as it seems, even the truths they themselves have held for years.
Deluxe edition will include beautiful sprayed edges and internal character art!

Person
Born from Ink & Stardust, Kiri Callaghan is an author of fantastical fiction, performer, and poet. Existing work consists of The Terra Mirum Chronicles (Alys, Changeling), The Seek Anomalie Podcast, and a collection of original poems performed live at the Los Angeles Poetry Brothel. When Kiri is not telling stories or pretending to be other people, she is likely exploring the world, dancing under the moon, or crafting something with superglue, paint, and sheer audacity. She resides with her ridiculously stunning wife, the sweetest ball python to ever exist, a raccoon/bunny hybrid masquerading as a cat, and a sentient void with an unhealthy penchant for chicken in Los Angeles, California.
