Settle the Score
"What? I told ya this wasn't that kinda story. But I ain't ever said the story's over..."
In The Argent City, just beyond the gaze of humanity, dwell dragons, lycanthropes, vampires, sorcerers, gods, and the Noble Fae holding court amongst them all. Dwarves work their wonders, Sluagh gather lore of the arcane, Brownies serve with unwavering loyalty, Trolls protect with exalted courage, Phouka tell their stories that make mortals into legend. Above them are the Sidhe, who rule over all as examples and bastions of grace, art, music, intelligence, and awe-inspiring beauty beyond the ken of mortal minds. All Fae serve as exemplars of what humanity can only dream of achieving.
And then there's the Goblins...
Breaking up is hard to do. Breaking up three times with the same person is even harder. Breaking up three times with the Prince of the Phouka is nigh impossible, but that's life for Nick Blackwarren, a Goblin Thief drawn into the Redcaps, a clan of murderers and assassins. Keeping his blades clean is difficult enough with a blood-hungry magical sword, but it's made more difficult when Nick is hired to track down the killer of a young artist and retrieve her final work, a symphonic magnum opus.
To finish the job, Nick needs a team. Fortunately, he has a fast-talking Gremlin hacker, a Kitsune with her finger on the pulse, his ex-boyfriend who hasn't taken the hint yet, and the last partner he ever wanted any connection to: an elite assassin with ties to the Royal Family of the Fae. Doesn't help that he's pretty easy on the eyes, either. The investigation will lead through chases on the highway, fleeing from dragons, tracking killers, and the greatest heist of a Goblin's life: the Royal Vault.
Sometimes it just takes a thief. Other times it involves jumping off a building.
Advisory: This is a work of urban fantasy with some romantic elements featuring a homoromatic demisexual male lead. This story is written in character voice, and as a result contains numerous instances of profanity. Does not contain explicit sexual content between two male characters, 'cause this ain't that kinda story. This story also contains scenes of physical violence. Please adjust expectations accordingly.
