Relic Hunters

The race to claim Agrona's Claws continues… Agrona's claws-three godly artifacts that, when used together, have the power to either extend darkness or utterly banish it-were deliberately hidden eons ago so that no man or woman would ever again wield them. But nothing stays hidden forever, and the Crown of Shadows was recently unearthed and stolen, despite Bethany Aodhán's best efforts to stop it. Now Beth and her brother Lugh must seek out the Sword of Darkness before those intent on destruction can reunite two of the three Claws and unleash chaos. But even the help of a cranky goddess and two sexy elves might not be enough to save the day… or the world itself. Because the forces of darkness are gathering momentum, and its origin lies closer to home than any of them guessed.

A new relic hunt. A new evil… Resident Relic Hunter for Deva's Fae Council is a title Bethany Aodhán never wanted, but it isn't like she has a choice. And in truth, the appointment might just aid her quest to find her mother's murderers-because at least one of those responsible is a member of the council, and getting access to their records could give her the connection and their identity. But before she can be given her first task or even start her behind-the-scenes hunt, a building belonging to Cynwrig Ltair-the highborn dark elf who is not only her council liaison but lover-is set alight, and they barely escape with their lives. It quickly becomes clear that the cause of the fire was a relic belonging to the god of smiths and fire, capable of destroying anything made within a forge, old or new. And the man wielding it is an elf who stirs uneasy echoes of past darkness within Bethany. As the attacks intensify and draw ever closer to home, it's increasingly evident that not only do the keys to finding the culprits lie in the past Bethany can't remember, but he's someone who knew her very well indeed. Someone who has no qualms about doing whatever it takes to get what he wants from her. Even if that means killing Lugh.

Revenge is a dish best served cold... When Bethany Aodhán, resident--and reluctant--relic hunter for Deva's Fae Council, is assigned her next task, little does she realize just how many unwanted ghosts it will raise. The missing relic--Borrhás's Horn--enables the user to raise elements of winter against their enemies. It quickly becomes clear that the Horn is now in the hands of a powerful witch who has very specific targets in mind--everyone involved in the hunt for Agrona's Claws. As the attacks intensify, and buildings--and people--are frozen and destroyed, Bethany and Mathi Dh¿r-Val, her Elven handler and friend, race to uncover who is behind the attacks and reclaim the Horn. But the threads of treachery loom closer than either of them realize, weaving around the pixie who pursues her romantically and the dark elf king she wants but cannot have. As the attacks grow ever more violent, it becomes clear that Bethany is now in their enemy's crosshairs Can they find the Horn and its wielder in time to not only save Bethany, but an entire city? Or will winter's icy embrace take them all?

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer… Bethany Aodhán is not only a reluctant relic hunter for Deva's Fae Council, but also a major "chess piece" in the latest round of godly games. When a fallen storm goddess tasks her with finding Bia's Blade-a godly weapon capable of bringing anyone under the control of its wielder-she knows danger will once again stalk her. As if that was not enough to deal with, the council hands her a second mission-find the person who, with the help of another godly relic, broke into one of the most secure banks in all of England to steal a handful of documents. It soon becomes clear that the person behind the break-in is after the same thing Beth is-the location of Carla Wilson, the second-in-command of the Ninkilim. But things become more complicated when she receives confirmation that someone close to her works for the enemy. What she doesn't know is how far they will go to fulfill their contract. And whether it really even matters. Because Carla Wilson has finally had enough of Bethany's interference, and is now determined to bring her under total control… with the help of Bia's Blade.
