A quest for answers about how her sister died leads Macayla (Mac Lane) to Ireland, but she finds
more questions in the answers. She discovers that she did not even know who she herself truly is.
She is a sidhe seer, one who can see past the glamors of the Fey and perceive the true horrors.
Because of this, she is valuable to Jericho Barrons, a man who is more than he seems, and who
may be able to help her while she assists him in finding objects of power with which to fight
against the growing tide of evil the Unseelie Court, among others, is unleashing on the
mortal world. Temptation, horror, and danger lie around every corner, especially those
corners that no one sees.
This is a book to savor even as you want to find out what happens next as soon as possible. Though
there is no overt romance between Barrons and Mac, the tension sizzles. Mac is a very down to
earth, easy to identify with heroine, and it is going to be most difficult to wait for
Blood Fever to tell more of her story.

Synopsis
MacKayla Lane's life is good. She has great friends, a decent job, and a car
that breaks down only every other week or so. In other words, she's your
perfectly ordinary twenty-first-century woman. Or so she thinks…until something
extraordinary happens.
When her sister is murdered, leaving a single clue
to her death - a cryptic message on Mac's cell phone - Mac journeys to Ireland
in search of answers. The quest to find her sister's killer draws her into a
shadowy realm where nothing is as it seems, where good and evil wear the same
treacherously seductive mask. She is soon faced with an even greater challenge:
staying alive long enough to learn how to handle a power she had no idea she
possessed - a gift that allows her to see beyond the world of man, into the
dangerous realm of the Fae...
As Mac delves deeper into the mystery of her
sister's death, her every move is shadowed by the dark, mysterious Jericho, a
man with no past and only mockery for a future. As she begins to close in on the
truth, the ruthless Vlane - an alpha Fae who makes sex an addiction for human
women - closes in on her. And as the boundary between worlds begins to crumble,
Mac's true mission becomes clear: find the elusive Sinsar Dubh before someone
else claims the all-powerful Dark Book - because whoever gets to it first holds
nothing less than complete control of the very fabric of both worlds in their
hands...
