A Poisoned Garden. New World Magic, #4

A unicorn walks into a bar and.wait, what was I saying? Look, between what I'm pretty sure is premature senility and wanting to barf all the time, I'm barely hanging in there. At this point, I need a break after solving xeno murders, fighting murderous fox shifters, and my best friend nearly murdering me for.reasons. But do I get a break? No, I get an invitation to the court of the Unseelie fae, and it's the kind of invitation you can't refuse because it's from the king who flip-flops between wanting to share a pizza with me and stabbing me. The upside is that I can see my best friend Marly, the newly minted and slightly murderous Unseelie fae queen.
The downside? Apparently, I have to prevent a civil war between powerful magical beings, and I don't even get a can opener for self-defense. Just like clockwork, I'm back to running from supernatural squids, double-dealing with triple-dealing fae who probably all want me dead, and getting tangled up with a beautiful, broken-hearted unicorn who makes me feel guilty, and I don't know why. After all, we've never met before...have we?
