Spirit's End
Eli Monpress is clever, he's determined, and he's in way over his head.
First rule of thievery: don't be a hero. When Eli broke the rules and saved
the Council Kingdoms, he thought he knew the price, but resuming his
place as the Shepherdess's favorite isn't as simple as bowing his head.
Now that she has her darling back, Benehime is setting in motion a plan
that could destroy everything she was created to protect, and even Eli's charm might not be enough to stop her. But Eli Monpress always has a
plan, and with disaster rapidly approaching, he's pulling in every favor he can think of to make it work, including the grudging help of the
Spirit Court's new Rector, Miranda Lyonette.
But with the world
in panic, the demon stirring, and the Lord of Storms back on the hunt,
it's going to take more than luck and charm to pull Eli through this
time. He's going to have to break a few more rules and work with some
old enemies if he's going to survive.
Rachel Aaron
Rachel Aaron was born in Atlanta, GA. After a lovely, geeky childhood full of books and public television, and then an adolescence spent feeling awkward about it, she went to the University of Georgia to pursue English Literature with an eye towards getting her PhD. Upper division coursework cured her of this delusion, and she graduated in 2004 with a BA and a job, which was enough to make her mother happy. She currently lives in a 70s house-of-the-future in Athens, GA with her loving husband, overgrown library, and small, brown dog.
Rachel Aaron also writes under the pseudonym of Rachel Bach.
