No Promises
I used to be a hero. Then I grew up. I’m Kieran Thorne, the world’s only living half-fae. The gig comes with a few perks—immortality, magic I can’t control, fae assassins constantly on my heels. And the chance to protect the good and the powerless against those who are neither. For hundreds of years, that’s what I did. Until I got tired of the humans I saved repaying me by burning me at the stake or shooting me in the heart. I traded in my white hat for a mansion on the beach, and started living by a new creed: look out for myself, and let the humans solve their own problems. But now Winter fae are going missing, and someone has planted a trail of evidence leading right to my door. I have two choices: let Queen Mab’s feral enforcer carve me to bits, or help her find the real culprit. Looks like I’m back in the hero business. But this time, I’ll remember the lesson it cost me so much to learn: There are no good people in this world, and no righteous causes. Humanity is corrupt. The fae are cruel and vicious. Me? I’m a little of both.
Sinners' Kingdom
Criminal underworld meets literal underworld… The mayor may think he runs things in Jarvis, but the rest of us know better. Vincent Dean’s criminal empire controls the illicit trade that is the lifeblood of the city. And Ruby McGinniss, however adeptly she plays the part of his empty-headed trophy wife, controls Vincent Dean. As someone who’s made a career out of helping the little guy get justice, I’d happily watch their corrupt empire burn. But now they’ve made a demon mad, and I’m the only one in town with the know-how to save them. Which would be too bad for them—if they were the only ones in danger. The thing is, they’ve got a little girl whose only crime is being born to the wrong parents, and she’s in Hell’s crosshairs too. Let an innocent child die, or help her parents keep on getting away with literal murder? Put it this way—it won’t be the first time I’ve fought for the bad guys. And hey, at least Dean and McGinniss are the devils I know. So long as they don’t have any tricks up their sleeves.
Higher Justice
Before the Last War in Heaven… Before the angel Nicariel fell… He was a guardian angel, and one of Heaven’s trusted servants. But when he finds himself forced to save yet another human charge who doesn’t deserve to live, there are only two things he can do. Swallow down the rage and let another little part of himself die… Or make a deal with a demon. And accept the consequences. This prequel to the Nic Ward series is 5800 words long. It is also available in Dark Wings, Bright Flame, an urban fantasy short story collection.
Blighted Angels
Fun with Nic and Jane I keep women at a distance for a reason. Jane most of all. She thinks my life in the shadows is exciting and glamorous. I know better. If I let her get too close, my world will eat her alive. But when her ex gets himself into the kind of trouble I specialize in solving, she’s got nowhere else to turn. What am I supposed to do? Watch her get herself killed trying to save the guy on her own? I’ve got no choice but to let her into my office. Doesn’t mean I’m letting her into my life. Because I’ve got a bad feeling this is no ordinary demon problem. This smells like Heaven’s work to me… and considering the well-deserved grudge that place has against me, by my side is the last place anyone should be.
Broken Faith
Sometimes even the good guys have to make a deal with a demon. I’m that demon. When a fallen angel killed God, not all priests lost their faith. Some rolled up their sleeves and got to work. Like the ones behind Seed of Renewal—a charity on a mission to create a better world here on earth, since we can’t count on heaven anymore. Whatever they’re doing, it’s working. Crime is down. Kindness is up. Even someone as cynical as me has to admit they may be on to something. I guess someone out there doesn’t like that. Because priests from the charity keep turning up in the hospital, their minds wiped clean. These guys are great at handing out food and free hugs, but when it comes to fig...
Crooked Idols
Demons are bad. Politicians are worse. The city’s next would-be mayor is in bed with demons—literally. He’s got big plans to renew the founder’s demonic pacts and turn Jarvis back into the hub of glamor and decadence it used to be… by feeding the city’s undesirables to the hungry maw of hell. Politics isn’t my game, so where do I come in? Well, demons don’t like to leave their wins up to chance. If he can’t win the old-fashioned way, he’ll do it by going after his opponent’s son. I’ve been hired to protect the kid, which means I’m on babysitting duty until I find a way to shut this guy down. The election is in a week. I’ve got that long to stop him before he becomes the next mayor and turns the city into an all-you-can-eat demon buffet. And I have to keep the kid safe while I do it. Oh, and did I mention my client has forbidden me from getting my hands dirty? He wants to win this thing fair and square or not at all. Good thing I’m no good at taking orders.
Nothing Sacred
When human justice fails, the desperate call me. You know things are bad when a fallen angel is one of the good guys. Only I’m not much more than human myself now. Not since I lost my magic in the war that defeated the big boss in Heaven for good. I stay away from the supernatural these days. I’ve got enough regular old human wrongs to right without borrowing trouble I no longer have the firepower to handle. Besides, I paid my dues in the war, and have the scars to prove it. If anyone deserves a little peace and quiet, it’s me. That rule worked great until today. Now there’s a beautiful woman on my doorstep with a demon problem. She’s too innocent for the world she’s stumbled into. She doesn’t stand a chance on her own. But if I let her in, it’s only a matter of time before this job brings me face to face with the consequences of what I did in the war—the secret I’ve worked so hard to leave behind.
Lost Cause
Humanity finally has a hero who can stand up to Hell. It’s my job to stop her. Guess that makes me the villain. Ever since Heaven lost the war, the forces of Hell have treated my city as their playground. One human is finally pushing back. With the power of a saint’s relic behind her, she’s bringing light to Jarvis’s dark streets, one dead demon at a time. But not every demon is one of the bad guys. Some of us just want to live our lives in peace. And if I don’t stand up for the ones who can’t defend themselves… well, who else is going to care what happens to a bunch of monsters? I wish I’d never asked. Because now none other than Vekaniel is sitting in my office, offering to join forces to protect the good demons of the city. Yep, that’s right: the scary-powerful fallen angel. My former ally in the war against Heaven. The one I went up against a few months back, and barely came out alive. She swears she’s on the straight and narrow now. We’ll see about that. But the fact is, I can’t win this alone. I need help. The kind only a dangerous, devious, and maybe-reformed fallen angel can give.
No Illusions
The wrong kind of help is worse than none at all… I’m Kieran Thorne—half-fae, former protector of humanity, and currently the only thing standing between the Faerie Courts and the human corporation trying to harvest their magic. Or that’s what I used to think. Turns out someone else has been working against Arkanica too—someone with ties to both Faerie and the human world. But his cure might be worse than the disease. Queen Mab agrees… which is why she’s sent Vicantha to kill him. This newcomer’s plan is foolish. Reckless. Certain to get him killed. If he’s lucky, he won’t take the rest of the world with him—but I know better than to rely on luck. And now that I’ve learned about his connection to my own past, I have no choice but to help him send the world to hell.
Righteous Devil
Nic Ward is on the highway to Hell… Beelzebub, lord of Hell, used to want me dead. Now he wants to hire me. The job: track down Lucifer, who’s been MIA since the war in Heaven. There’s one catch: with God dead, Lucifer is now the most powerful being in the universe… and he clearly doesn’t want to be found. I don’t relish the thought of being the one to interrupt his vacation. But the money is good. The prospect of getting off Beelzebub’s shit list is better. And the world’s been a mess since the Last War—might be nice to have someone around who’s capable of cleaning it up. With him on the case, maybe I could take a real vacation myself one of these days. So my team and I are going on a road trip to track down Hell’s most high-profile missing person. Just an ex-Inquisitor, a rogue priest, a hellhound the size of a small bear… and me, the fallen angel who drove a sword through God’s heart.
