The weirdness level of my life has reached an all-time high. Which is saying something, considering I started out as a psychic conman and somehow ended up as a MagiPol agent. And not just any agent. Lately, I've been Captain Blythe's right-hand man and most trusted confidant.Yeah, I know. Super weird.It's also kind of awkward because, unbeknownst to her, I've also teamed up with her most loathed nemesis, Darius King, guild master of the Crow and Hammer and the number one guy on the Consilium's "To Be Eliminated" list.Oh, and the Consilium? It's just a secret organization embedded deep in the upper echelons of the MPD that's using its nefarious influence to take over the world. Or destroy it. We're still figuring that part out."We" being me and Blythe. And me and Darius. But not Blythe and Darius. Like I said, it's awkward.Unfortunately, the Consilium knows we're on to them. Their plans are already in motion, and if we don't find a way to stop them, the mythic world will change for the worse-and there'll be no going back.

What's a hardworking MagiPol agent need to do to get a little R&R?Between Agent S ze, the treacherous Internal Affairs tyrant who's taken over my precinct, and the super illegal sorcery my partner Lienna was hiding in said precinct-which is now missing-my usual routine of busting magical criminals has fallen apart in favor of hectic damage control.But that went out the window too when a respected Guild Master was found dead. Agent S ze is trying to cover it up, which is all the reason I need to make solving the murder my top priority.Except now Agent S ze is trying to arrest and/or kill me. Not entirely unexpected, but both dangerous and highly irritating.With the clock ticking on the next mysterious Guild Master murder, Lienna and I have to find a way to prove Agent S ze is behind it all. We need rock-solid evidence to bring him down, which is kind of tricky when crooked agents, shady allies, and cutthroat assassins keep complicating matters.And if we don't get to the bottom of it fast, my next day off will be in the morgue as another corpse to be swept under the corruption rug.

I'm learning to embrace who and what I am, but there's one thing I can't face: the night Zak betrayed me. But even with the mysteries of our shared past hanging between us, I can't turn Zak away when he asks for my help.Powerful fae are going missing, and when he tried to investigate, Lallakai vanished too. Now he wants me to venture with him into the territory of the Shadow Court, but its bloodthirsty courtiers don't welcome meddling druids.Danger is gathering around us, seen and unseen. As we uncover incomprehensible clues about the missing fae, we realize this nightmare runs deeper than we imagined, and unveiling it means delving into the past-our past.If I abandon Zak now, he'll never make it out alive. But if I stay at his side, if I face the truth of that night, it will destroy us both.--From the author of the best-selling Guild Codex books comes a new series that delves into the dark, dangerous world of druids and fae alongside two ravaged souls who may be exactly what the other needs ... if they don't kill each other first.Unveiled can be read as a standalone series or in conjunction with other Guild Codex series.

I'm not your average girl.My best friend is my switchblade. My favorite hobby is using it on the cruel, the abusive, and anyone who gets on my bad side. I'm a convicted murderer with a chip on my shoulder and a dangerous lack of restraint.And then there's Zak.His rap sheet makes mine look tame. The bounty on his head is worth more money than I'll ever make, and the deadly fae that shadow his every step wield more power than I'll ever know.He's the Crystal Druid, and his first mistake was setting foot on my turf.His second was saving my life.And his final mistake will be failing to realize that however dark, however ruthless, however broken he is...I'm worse.--From the author of the best-selling Guild Codex books comes a new series that delves into the dark, dangerous world of druids and fae alongside two ravaged souls who may be exactly what the other needs...if they don't destroy each other first.Unveiled can be read as a standalone series or in conjunction with other Guild Codex series.

As a former con-artist, I love a convoluted, mind-bending scheme as much as the next guy. But as a recently promoted MagiPol agent, I love it significantly less than that guy.Especially when the life of a kidnapped teen hangs in the balance.Between confusing orders and conflicting evidence, this whole investigation has me and my partner, Lienna, spinning in circles. Why is our boss keeping this case off the books? Why is our top suspect, the most notorious rogue in Vancouver, mired in contradictions? And why am I the only one who cares more about the victim than their own ulterior motives?Everyone wants me to shut up and follow orders, but that's not my style. I'll do whatever it takes to save this kid-even if that means returning to my roguish roots.

Agent Kit Morris. Has a nice ring, doesn't it?It's a big step up from "wanted criminal" or "that weird con-artist guy with weirder psychic powers"-both of which recently applied to me. But my promotion to MagiPol agent comes with a few drawbacks.First, supremely talented and effortlessly gorgeous Agent Lienna Shen won't agree to a dinner date with me. Second, my new assignment has pitted me against a guild with very bad taste in pets. Third, those pets are demons, and those demons want to kill me.My psychic magic is great for conning people. It doesn't do jack shit against hellish orcs. If I screw this up, my dinner date will be with a demon-and I'll be the dinner. Even better, I kind of suspect this supposedly straightforward assignment is actually the tip of an unholy iceberg of power-hungry malefactors bent on destroying all law and order in the city.I should probably mention that last part to my boss.
