Small Magics
Now collected for the first time, an irresistible compilation of five previously published stories by the bestselling author of the Kate Daniels series; including Kate’s very first meeting with Saiman, some related adventures, and two unforgettable ‘outside’ excursions.
A QUESTIONABLE CLIENT –
In this ‘intro’ to the Kate Daniels world, we meet the extremely ‘shifty’
Saiman for the very first time, when Kate takes on the task of serving
as his bodyguard to protect him from some very determined — and
dangerous — Russian wizards.
RETRIBUTION CLAUSE –
Saiman’s cousin, Adam—a frost giant and also an insurance adjuster—and his enigmatic partner, Siroun, set out on an
impossible mission to enforce a client’s Retribution Clause; that is, to kill the person who killed her. But is their target even guilty? Magic
and mayhem and a little personal chemistry will reveal the truth!
OF SWINE AND ROSES –
A young adult story about a girl, a pig, some magic, and the worst date ever.
Chad Thurman is a thug, who carries brass knuckles in both pockets and lays magic traps for intruders into "his" neighborhood. The last thing Alena Kornov wants to do is to go on the date with him. But when her family pressures her, she can't say no. Now the ice-cream is absent, the pig is running for its life, and we won't even mention the dead guy...
GRACE OF SMALL MAGICS –
Grace has always known she wasn’t like everyone else and that her family has
magic abilities. After flying to meet the head of Clan Dreoch in order
to fulfill her families’ “duties” as servants, Grace finds herself in
the middle of a mage clan war...
MAGIC TESTS –
A short story in the Kate Daniels universe. Kate recruits her teenage
ward, Julie, to search out a missing student whose location spell has
her hidden somewhere on campus...
