Shadow's Bastion - Paperback

by L. R. Braden (Author)

Deals and desperation are a dangerous combination...

Alex will do anything to protect the man she loves from an eternity as the vampire council's political puppet, but a favor from the fae Lord of Enchantment comes at a steep price. A decision must be made, and she's running out of time.

The peace summit that will determine the fate of all paranatural beings on Earth is just around the corner, and vampires coming out of the closet isn't the only complication. Purists are ramping up production of Fantasia-a drug distilled from the bodies of abducted fae to grant magical abilities to mundane humans-and whispers indicate an attack on the summit.

In order to save the summit and protect the people she loves, Alex must travel deep behind enemy lines with the last person she wants to trust as her only backup. What could possibly go wrong?
