Jaded Loyalties. The Exile's Paradox, #2

If it's not elven politics, it's fae politics. Three weeks after Hally and Nolan defeated a murderous elven mage, fae guards storm her Seattle tattoo shop. Accusations of a treaty violation the elves don't even remember and a threat of war pull Hally back into the magical world she's been hiding from. Hally must play fae politics and rescue kidnapped fae children who were taken by the elven mage. Refuse, and the fae will send her back to the elves who exiled her-where execution awaits, even if it means Nolan's death too.
As they investigate, Hally realizes the kidnappings aren't what they appear. The fae might be involved. But among these new faces, she can't tell friend from foe. Caught between elven arrogance and shifting loyalties, Hally's running out of time. Find the children, or lose her life, Nolan's, and any chance of stopping a war between realms.
