Which is stronger: blood ties or a battle-tested friendship? That's the
question Gin Blanco asks when a friend's long-lost relative strolls into
town. The suspicious reunion is a surprise for everyone--and a big
problem for Gin.

Book Reviews calls "unbeatable entertainment"!
It's not easy being queen bee of an underworld abuzz with crooks and
killers. Wielding my potent Ice and Stone elemental magic will get me
only so far--my real secret is my tight-knit makeshift family, a motley
crew of cops and criminals, dwarves, and playboys. My foster brother,
Finnegan Lane, is my right-hand man, but when his suddenly not-dead
relative comes back into the picture, I'm the one on the outside looking
in.
It's funny how life works: One minute your best friend is rock steady,
and the next he's doe eyed and buying in to this whole loving-relative
routine to the point of ignoring you. I'd like to be happy for Finn, I
really would. But all of my instincts are telling me that beneath the
syrupy-sweet demeanor and old-fashioned charm, this sudden interloper is
planning something. The whole shtick leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.
This person might have avoided the grave once, but I'll put anyone who
hurts Finn in the ground--for good.
