Five murders across Europe, each victim found dead with an exotic lop-eared Sumxu cat, animals considered extinct for 300 years. Only Henri Fox knows why—and that knowledge could kill her. To survive she must pursue a madman across China with partner, Cass Farraday, but the hunters soon become the prey. Desperate and on the run in Shanghai, pursued by the Tong and the police, they must break into the Chinese Gold Exchange for the proof they need to prevent a megalomaniac billionaire’s Armageddon assault on Britain’s Air Traffic Control.

When tabloid camera girl Henri Fox pictures a Hollywood megastar making love on the back seat of a stretch limo, the star’s father, a ruthless Bogota emerald mine owner, must bury his daughter’s scandalous snapshot—and Henri Fox with it.

Skyboat Media presents Give the People What They Want and Other Stories of Sharp Wit, Cunning Women, and Wild Magic, an original collection of short stories from Alex Bledsoe.

A new era is dawning for the Court of Light and the Court of Dark. Queen Aurora will soon be married to King Jarvok, and for the first time in history, Dark and Light Fae will be united. Except Aurora is also concealing a secret from everyone—she is with child. Not everyone is pleased with the upcoming nuptials. Queen Aurora’s closest advisors have long held that Virtues and Power Angels are sacrosanct, and her bishops view her upcoming marriage as an abomination.

Once, peace between the Court of Dark and Light seemed possible. A treaty was signed, a new balance was agreed upon. But now it all may go up in flames. Queen Aurora and King Jarvok are refusing to end their battle. And with neither willing to surrender, their kingdoms are on the edge of destruction. Until a ghost from the past intervenes.

The war between the Court of Dark and Light waged for far too long. But at long last, each side has set their elemental magick and weapons down, and the Treaty of Bodhicitta is signed. The rules are clear. Never again will the Fae spill their own blood, and human worship must be equal to both courts. But while Queen Aurora and King Jarvok were playing their war games, the outside world has moved on from polytheism to monotheism. Now, the humans understand worship, equals power and wealth.

Aurora, Queen of the Light Fae, is a former Virtue angel sent to earth to nurture the planet in preparation for humanity. Jarvok, King of the Dark Fae, was once a nameless foot soldier from the Power Brigade angels cast down to earth to fight against the demon horde.
