And if you can ignore the pigeon incident, their wedding is a dream come true.īut not long after the “happily ever after,” Danielle is attacked by her stepsister Charlotte, who suddenly has all sorts of magic to call upon. Two young people, opposites in every way, are faced with an appalling responsibility, and Derveet herself, the dalang the puppeteer, must face her own frailty, and the demons of her past.Ĭinderella–whose real name is Danielle Whiteshore (nee Danielle de Glas)–does marry Prince Armand. Her quest takes her to the Peninsula's mysterious heart, where nothing is as it seems, and hope and nightmare are hard to tell apart.
A drug-fuelled crime wave must not be allowed to threaten the rebellion's city of refuge. When a dangerous narcotic drug called Flowerdust arrives in Ranganar, carried on a tide of refugees fleeing unrest in the north, Derveet sets out to find and neutralise the supply. But should Derveet and her friends be paying more attention to Cho's Cat, the elegant and heartless feloid Divine Endurance?

Guy DuCaine is sworn to duty and honor and loyalty - all the things I’m not. I never expected to stumble across a Templar Knight in my part of the city. My father abandoned me but at least I inherited some of his magic, and my skills with charms and glamours mean that few are as good at uncovering secrets others wish to hide. But options are limited for the half-breed daughter of a Fae lord.
I didn’t plan on becoming a thief and a spy. A city where a fragile peace is brokered by a treaty that set the laws for all four races… a treaty that is faltering day by day. A city where human and Fae magic rests uneasily next to the vampire Blood and the shapeshifting Beasts.
