"Destiny my ass." Jade Glaster refuses to believe the Fates rule her life. After Scourge soldiers leave her orphaned as a child, a young Jade vowed never to be powerless again. Now, grown and strong, wielding the affinities of fire and healing, Jade protects innocents as an enforcer for her world's elite policing agency-The Talon. When an emissary mission to reinstate a race of exiled Elves brings Galan into her life, Jade finds herself overwhelmed by new passions, some welcome, some not. Although Galan's antiquated views on women offend her to her heated core, when the Scourge attack his family, she agrees to help him navigate the outside worlds he knows nothing about-the magical Realm of the Fair and, stranger still . . . the modern streets of Toronto. Through their sensually charged pursuit of justice, Jade discovers that when dealing with the Fates-destiny is never random.
