From the author of Iron Kin and Shadow Kin—a new novel of fantasy, romance, and adventure...
Imagine a city divided. A city where human and Fae magic rests uneasily next to the vampire Blood and the shapeshifting Beasts. 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.

I didn’t plan on becoming a thief and a spy. But options are limited for the half-breed daughter of a Fae lord. 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. Right now the city has many secrets. And those who seek them pay so well…

I never expected to stumble across a Templar Knight in my part of the city. Guy DuCaine is sworn to duty and honor and loyalty—all the things I’m not. I may have aroused more than his suspicion...but he belongs to the Order and the human world. So when treachery and violence spill threaten both our worlds, learning to trust each other might be the only thing that saves us.

But even if a spy and a holy knight can work together, finding the key to peace is never going to be easy…

      Scott continues the Half-Light City series (Shadow Kin, 2011) with a tale about half-fae spy-for-hire Holly Evendale. Holly first encounters Templar knight Guy DuCaine when she falls off a roof and into his chain-mail-clad arms. They meet again when Holly's fae-lord fatherwho abandoned her and her human mother, forcing them to live in a brothelinvokes a geas on her to spy on Guy's brother, healer Simon DuCaine. Her father ensures her entry into the hospital by having her savagely beaten. The Templars have been experiencing an increase in deaths, and Guy will do anything to save his brotherhood, even to the extent of teaming up with Holly and being expelled from his order. In peril is a treaty that divides the city between magic-wielding humans and fae on one side and vampire Blood Lords and shape-shifting beast-kind on the other. Scott has built a fascinating world, best understood if readers begin with the first book and the story of Simon and the wraith assassin, Lily, and then continue with Holly and Guy.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2012, American Library Association.)
