About this listen
Leira's in a new town and this time she's making up the rules.
Leira Berens has split with the Feds and is hunting magical monsters with Correk and a certain troll by her side.
Magic is on the loose and the shifters, Elves and Witches are causing trouble.
But is Wolfstan Humphrey the most dangerous one of all?
Harkin may hold the key to solving part of that riddle. Will it be in time to help Silver Griffins survive what's coming?
There are whispers among the dark Wizarding families that Leira's a new kind of bounty hunter. They'd like to put a target on her back.
Time to show them all how it's done. They'll never see her coming.

Story
I knew three things about my life before adoption: I was a baby rescued from a blazing house fire, I was found in the arms of a dead man, and no one ever came to claim me. No one. Not ever. Now, as a Montreal detective, I'm dedicated to hunting truths for a living. Unheard voices. Cold cases. Unsolved mysteries. Unearthing secrets hidden in the shadows is my jam. Until the fae veil falls . . . When the world learns magic is real, everything changes. Montreal begins seething with prana energy, dormant genes activate, and seemingly normal humans experience magical awakenings.

Story
Rose Harkness is not just mortal. She’s half magician. And she’s in a lot of trouble. And by the way, she’s not a Harkness either. Her entire life, she’s been guarded, shielded, protected. She’s also been lied to… When a magical dragon emerges, Rose learns the truth. Now, she must leave the safety of her only home—and embrace her birthright. Can she do it? The House of Fourteen is relying on her. The Mortal Seven need her. Her real family, the Beaufonts, they can’t wait to meet her. Rose doesn’t know much about the world, but what little she knows will be turned upside down.

There is more in our world than you know. Deep in the darkness of a government building, one man needs to find the perfect solution to a vampire’s request that the government satisfy the debt of honor owed him. If he falls short, the failure will be paid in the blood of the military. He needs three uniquely qualified individuals. He can find only one. One woman, dying, might be the ace-in-the-hole he needs to appease the Vampire. But then, she might also be the one person needed to save humanity. If she is accepted, will she willingly change?

My brother is taking over the family business . . . It was something I'd trained for my entire life. I was more suited for it than he was in almost every way. Except for the most important one . . . the ability he'd inherited from our father. Why wasn't I born with the same powers? I'm leaving the underworld. I don't belong there anymore. Of course, I only have one marketable skill: Kicking ass and taking names. How can I use that to start a new life for myself on Earth? Unfortunately, vigilantism doesn't pay the bills.
