"An adventure-filled tale of love and magic with a strong central relationship... Fox populates this fantasy tale with a bright cast of characters who ably bring the story to life. "- Kirkus Reviews (Indie)

In the hidden magical Secondworld, the cauldron is about to boil over with intrigue.

Mage bounty hunter Athena enthusiastically slaps her hex cuffs on handsome homicide suspect Kellan Mordigan, only to become the hunted as a necromancer who literally stole Kellan's heart looks to finish the job and smash the patriarchy while she's at it...
Athena Ellison, a powerful young mage who spurns her family's old-money expectations to become a bounty hunter, has a geomancer's talent for finding things -- but sometimes the things that find her first have teeth and a thirst for magical blood. She captures Kellan Mordigan, a mage who's the main suspect in a triple homicide; and as a bonus, the Mordigans and the Ellisons have been feuding for about a century. But right after Athena tracks Mordigan to a coffee shop and arrests him, they're attacked by a group of revenants, and even Athena's supernatural fighting skills barely get them out alive. As much as Athena wants to believe the worst of Mordigan, she's drawn into the quest to uncover the truth behind the Council's actions. Amid monsters and mayhem and with Mordigan in tow, Athena must put together a plan to defeat a necromancer who has made a literal deal with the devil and evade the tightening net of the Council's warrant, all while preserving the secrets of the Secondworld and keeping her world-ending power under control...

"Fox instills in this fantasy a welcome simplicity... A strong cast, human and otherwise, lead a compelling supernatural tale." -Kirkus Reviews (Indie), Kingbreaker

"Oh how I loved this story full of so much wonder and marvelous details. The characters were so well defined and the world building was so perfect. Well known details of the fairy world were adhered to which made the story authentic. The sensuality and vividness of the story made the tale come to life. The reader could taste the food, feel the textures and see the scenery. A highly recommended romp in fairy land."
-Amazon reviewer, Druid's Daughter
