It’s Faythander’s legend of King
Arthur. And it’s not for the faint of heart.
Olive Kennedy, Fairy World MD,
isn’t ready to go back to work. But when her dragon stepfather shows up on her
doorstep with bad news of the world-ending variety, that’s exactly what she’ll
have to do. He wants her to stop the elven queen from obtaining seven weapons
of King Arthur fame, and he wants her to break into a dragon’s vault to do it.
One problem. Silvestra, the
silverwitch of Dragon Spine Mountain, guards the weapons. And she’s not willing
to give them up. With the help of Kull, her newly reunited, half-crazed Viking
boyfriend, she’s hopeful they’ll stand up against the dragon. Plus, she’ll have
the help from Kull’s warrior princess sister and a professional thief.
But Olive has never had great
luck. What starts as a routine quest quickly turns into a life or death fight.
And one of her companions won’t make it out alive…

EXCERPT:
“I fail
to see how we’re lucky. We’re trapped in an unfamiliar world with no way of
returning home. The staff is gone, and I have a suspicion that if we find it,
we will not live long enough to return it to the sky king.”
Maveryck gave me a condescending smile. “Perhaps you will not live long enough,” he said as
he stood, and without further explanation, he limped away from me and down a
narrow hallway. I hesitated before following him. Navigating alone through a
tomb like this would be suicide, so I reluctantly trailed him, barely keeping
my temper in check.
“Where are you going?” I demanded.
“To find a way out of here.”
“What then?” I asked. “Where will we go? How will we find the
staff? How will we return home? Have you the magic to create portals?”
He rounded on me, his jaw clenched. “First, and listen very
clearly, I’m not in the habit of answering questions—not from you or anyone
else. Second, I’m not your friend, nor am I trying to help you. For the time
being, we share the same goal, so I will work with you in order to bring the
staff back. After that, our partnership will be dissolved. I’ve never lost an
object before, and it won’t happen now. If you impede me in any way, I will aid
you no more.”
“Have you forgotten who my brother is? Should you return to
Faythander without me, what do you think the king will do to you?”
“I don’t care.”
“You might care when you’re rotting in the Wult dungeons.”
“I doubt he would throw me in the dungeons for leaving you. In all
honesty, I believe he would reward me.”
Now he’d pushed too far. I’d had an ill feeling about this man
from the moment I’d met him, and I would tolerate his superior attitude no
more. I shoved him against the wall, pressing the weight of my body against
him, making the stacks of skeletal remains rattle behind us.
“Enough,” I hissed. “I will not tolerate being spoken to in such a
manner.”
Instead of shying away as I expected, he clamped my wrists in his
hands. He used no magic, but the calculated look he gave me sent shivers down
my spine. “And I,” he said, “will also not tolerate being spoken to in such a
manner.”
Fear made my heart beat wildly. Who is this man? It was at that moment I realized how
very little I knew about him. Where did he come from? Where did he live? Who
were his kin? His gaze locked with mine, and sparks of purple danced in the
gray of his irises. I knew he possessed magic, but he’d led me to believe his
powers were limited. Had he lied?
