School is out for
Tony Gunari, and now it’s time to grow up, to be what he was meant to be, a
Sióga Feiceann -- a Fae assassin. After years of hiding what he truly was from
his nearest and dearest friends, Tony has decided to travel to New York and
discover the whole secret of his legacy including what really happened to his
father. The Fae war is in full swing so Tony decides that while he’s at it;
he’s going to kick a little Dark Fae butt.
Jillian O’Neal is a Sorceress, sent by her parents from
Ireland to train with a man named Nico in New York. Her tough, sassy attitude
sometimes gets her into trouble, but she could never have imagined the trouble
meeting someone like Tony Gunari, a real Sióga Feiceann, was going to cause her
especially when she realizes that her duty is to protect him at all costs.
When Tony meets Jillian he is instantly intrigued by the
fireball throwing, Irish witch with a sassy attitude. Protecting her becomes
his number one priority. Who knows…
With a bit of Irish luck they may just have a chance to save
the world and fall in love…

Excerpt:
“So, you know,” Nicolae sighed and sank into his black
leather chair. “You know what you are.”
I stayed quiet for a moment; waiting to see if he would
continue, give me a hint of why he hadn’t told me.
“I suppose it was inevitable. Your mother never could keep a
secret, so-- I assume she is the one who told you?”
Now, that was a shock. As far as I knew, Mom was oblivious
to the Fae and all the crap that had been going on for the past year. “No. Mom
didn’t say a thing, Uncle Nicu.”
“Then, how did you find out?”
“My fault, I’m afraid,” Max said stepping forward. “I sort
of exposed him to some Fae warriors.”
“You what? I should kill you! Do you know what you have
done?” Nicolae jumped out of his chair and drew a silver dagger from a wrist
sheath.
“Uncle! You don’t want to do that!” I shouted, but it was
too late. Max had already gone on defensive mode and pulled one of his own
swords from his hip…Veritas. They were hidden by Fae magic until they were
needed and then, well, watch out. Max was deadly with them. I suppose I should
be thankful he didn’t pull Aequitas as well.
“Antony, just who the hell did you bring to my club?” Nicolae asked backing away from Max.
“Uncle, please put the dagger away. Max, back down, please.”
I stood between them, hoping for some peace.
“Who. Is. He. Antony?” Nicolae sheathed his dagger, but
continued to stand in a threatening manner.
“Tones…” Max cautioned me, but I knew my Uncle.
“Whoa! Just chill Uncle Nicu. A lot has happened in the past year, and Max
is a huge part of it, Dude. I’ll explain, but only if I have your word and
stuff that you’ll sit down and listen. And you won’t try to kill Max.”
Nicolae glared at us, but he finally conceded and sat down
in his chair. I glanced at Max and watched him sheath Veritas, which then
vanished from his side. He leaned
against the wall near the door, and far from Nicolae, just in case Uncle Nicu
got it in his head to go after him again.
“Okay… okay,” I said, not sure where to begin. “So, you know
there’s a war going on out there, right Dude?”
Nicolae nodded. “Between the Light and Dark Fae, yes, I
know. What does that have to do with you? Either of you?”
“Well, the Light Fae, as you call them, have a Faerie Mound
in southern Indiana. Just a few blocks from school actually.”
Nicolae frowned. “I thought they were only in the major
cities. What are they doing there?”
“For the most part they are, but the King of Light and
Illusion needed a place where the Dark Fae would not think to look for him. Not
that it matters now, they’ve known approximately where it is since last
October,” Max said with a frown.
“Beside the point, Max.”
“Not really, Tones. The point is, we have a Faerie Mound
back home, I found out that I’m related to the King of Light and Illusion and
he sent warriors to protect me. You saw
them, and got exposed as a Sióga Feiceann. And then the Unseelie found us.”
“What?”
“Yeah, what Max said.” I sat down on the corner of Nicolae’s
desk. At least he wasn’t jumping out of his seat trying to kill Max again. That
was progress.
“So let me get this straight. You--” Nicolae pointed at Max,
“--are related to the King of the Light Fae. And you--” Nicolae pointed at me,
“--brought him to New York? Are you out of your ever lovin’ mind?”
