I never wanted anything to do with magic . . . not since my father fought to eradicate it during the Faerie Wars and never came home. Life has a cruel sense of humor.
With the world clinging to a fragile peace forced on the Fae by humanity after the Faerie Wars, metalsmith Alex Blackwood is plunged into the world of the half-fae who traffick in illegal magical artifacts. Her best friend's murder and his cryptic last message place her in the crosshairs of a scheme to reignite the decade-old war between humans and fae.
Worse, violent attacks against her and the arrival of a fae knight on a mission force Alex to face a devastating revelation of who and what she is. To catch a killer, retrieve a dangerous artifact, and stop a war, Alex will have to accept that she's an unregistered fae halfer with a unique magical talent-a talent that would change everything she believes about her past, her art, and her future.
Her world is crumbling around her, and Alex will have to decide who to trust if she and the world are going to survive.
A Drop of Magic is a first-in-series tale woven with magic and secrets perfect for fans of Ilona Andrews, Patricia Briggs, BR Kingslover, or Kim Harrison.
