But once back in the faerie courts, Kaye finds herself a pawn in the games of Silarial, queen of the Seelie Court. Her mother's shock and horror sends Kaye back to the world of Faerie to find her human counterpart and return her to Ironside. Miserable and convinced she belongs nowhere, Kaye decides to tell her mother the truth - that she is a changeling left in place of the human daughter stolen long ago.

As it was, the victim was Sue Hewitt, leaving the judge alive and free to rail and threaten anyone he suspected of the shooting. If Judge Hewitt hadn’t bent over to pick up a spoon that had fallen from his dinner table, the sniper set up nearly a mile from his house in the gated community of the Eagle Mountain Club would have ended his life. ![]() Once again, Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett gets mixed up in a killing whose principal suspect is his old friend Nate Romanowski, whose attempts to live off the grid keep breaking down in a series of felony charges. ![]() ![]() My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!
