Chessa Moon and Gwendolyn Evenshine started C&F Investigations with a clear objective: pursue justice for the countless fae who'd been let down by the system. Unfortunately, the lines of succession and a botched insurrection tore Gwen away, leaving Chessa to press on without her partner.
With help from Norman, a rehabilitated criminal wizard, and Cross-Eyed Quincy, a disreputable half-ogre, C&F scrounges for business, crippled by its connection to the Seelie Throne.
Until Xander Aster is pushed through the front door.
Xander's brother Mandrake was murdered, and the teenaged pixie doesn't believe the story the cops are selling. When the case leads to Avalon, the seat of Seelie power, Chessa must determine who is trustworthy before the magic inside consumes her and a new evil is let loose upon the world.
