Welcome to the world of the Cosa Nostradamus, where humans and non-humans co-exist...uneasily.
Wren Valere knows she's the best. So when she and her partner Sergei are hired to track down a missing - and deadly - parchment, she thinks it'll be a piece of cake. And getting out of the city, with its rising tensions between human Talent and the fatae, seems like a really good idea.
The problem is, their employer hasn't told them everything,
4) Uncanny Vows
The Cosa Nostradamus is falling apart....
Wren's got enough on her plate right now, thank you very much, trying to stop her partner Sergei from self-destructing. But attacks against the non-human Fatae have escalated into hate crimes against all members of the Cosa - humans included. With the Mage Council distracted by internal struggles, the Talented and Fatae communities form a fragile alliance....with Wren and the demon P.B. at the
The first rule of lonejacks is "don't get involved...."
Wren Valere just wants to do her job, collect a paycheck, and figure out her relationship with her business partner-turned-romantic partner, Sergei. No muss, no fuss, no outside entanglements. But when she takes on a job she shouldn't have, she finds herself once again in the cross-hairs of the Mage Council - and their aim is getting better.

...Wren Valere is Manhattan's most sought-after Retriever, but after last year's deadly confrontation with the anti-magic Silence, all she wants is a break. A few months of quiet, time to figure out where her life — and her relationship with partner Sergei — is going.
But then a seemingly simple assignment to retrieve a kidnaped child puts her on a collision course with the past— both hers, and the demon PB.'s.
...Forbidden to practice the magic she inherited from her mother, Davida Sanderson left her comfortable Boston home for a wilderness farm, and freedom. There, she finds respect, and peace, able to use her gifts to find what had gone missing, and restore what was lost. But in the early days of the Civil War, more has been lost than can be found, and her heart won't be able to hide forever....
