Revenge is a dish best served cold…

When Bethany Aodhán, resident—and reluctant—relic hunter for Deva’s Fae Council, is assigned her next task, little does she realize just how many unwanted ghosts it will raise.

The missing relic—Borrhás’s Horn—enables the user to raise elements of winter against their enemies. It quickly becomes clear that the Horn is now in the hands of a powerful witch who has very specific targets in mind—everyone involved in the hunt for Agrona’s Claws.

As the attacks intensify, and buildings—and people—are frozen and destroyed, Bethany and Mathi Dhār-Val, her Elven handler and friend, race to uncover who is behind the attacks and reclaim the Horn.

But the threads of treachery loom closer than either of them realize, weaving around the pixie who pursues her romantically and the dark elf king she wants but cannot have.

As the attacks grow ever more violent, it becomes clear that Bethany is now in their enemy’s crosshairs

Can they find the Horn and its wielder in time to not only save Bethany, but an entire city?

Or will winter’s icy embrace take them all?

Keri Arthur

Keri Arthur

In the shadowed spaces where magic meets mayhem, few authors conjure tension and tenderness with the same precision as Keri Arthur. Known for weaving the supernatural into gritty, emotionally rich narratives, Arthur has earned her place as a cornerstone of urban fantasy. Her breakout Riley Jenson Guardian series didn’t just capture imaginations—it helped shape a genre, fusing paranormal romance with high-stakes action and unapologetically complex heroines.

But Arthur’s world-building doesn’t stop with vampires and werewolves. Across dozens of novels and multiple series—including Lizzie Grace, Souls of Fire, and the newer Drakkon Kin Trilogy—she explores themes of identity, loyalty, and power in all its dangerous forms. Her characters, often women bound by duty and haunted by loss, walk the line between light and dark, navigating magical politics and personal reckonings with equal grit.

Born and raised in Melbourne, Australia, Arthur began her creative journey in the quieter corners of everyday life. She once worked as a cook, and that grounded perspective—the sense of duty, resilience, and resourcefulness—echoes in her protagonists. While her stories dive deep into fantastical realms, there’s always something deeply human anchoring them: the weight of choices, the ache of loneliness, the fire of survival.

Arthur’s work has been translated into several languages, landed on bestseller lists, and continues to resonate with readers around the world. She remains a fiercely independent voice in speculative fiction, consistently delivering fresh takes on classic mythologies. Whether she’s introducing readers to ancient relics, bloodline magic, or dragon-kin royalty, she writes with a clear reverence for character-driven storytelling—and a knack for keeping readers up way too late.

For fans of atmospheric urban fantasy with teeth, heart, and heat, Arthur's stories offer a gateway to worlds that feel both wild and eerily familiar.

Relic Hunters

In Relic Hunters, Keri Arthur invites readers into a thrilling world where ancient artifacts hold the power to change everything—and where those who hunt them must navigate a deadly web of secrets, betrayal, and dark magic. At the heart of this gripping series is Sienna, a skilled relic hunter with a unique ability to trace the hidden paths of the supernatural. Her job? To track down lost artifacts with dangerous power, and in doing so, confront forces that have long been buried in the shadows.

But when Sienna uncovers a relic that threatens to awaken a sleeping evil, she’s thrust into a race against time. With enemies closing in from all sides, and with an uneasy alliance forming between her and those she least trusts, Sienna must rely on her wits, her instincts, and the very magic she once thought she could control. The line between friend and foe blurs, and as the stakes rise, Sienna learns that some relics are better left forgotten.

With vivid world-building and complex characters, Relic Hunters blends supernatural mystery with pulse-pounding action. The series stands out for its sharp sense of intrigue, blending the exploration of powerful, ancient relics with the unraveling of dark secrets that tie back to Sienna’s own troubled past. It’s a tale where the past and present collide, where the consequences of every discovery could rewrite history—and where no one can be trusted, not even those closest to you.

Keri Arthur masterfully crafts a world where every relic has a story, and every character is haunted by their own secrets. As the story unfolds, readers are pulled into a dangerous world where trust is fragile and survival is uncertain, but the hunt for these powerful relics offers the only hope for redemption.

Perfect for fans of urban fantasy and dark mysteries, Relic Hunters offers an irresistible mix of suspense, supernatural intrigue, and character-driven drama. With each book, the stakes grow higher, and the truth becomes more elusive, leaving readers on the edge of their seats, eagerly awaiting the next chapter.
