Blood And Inheritance

That includes the father I never got to hate until now.

Nine years ago, a goblin killed my mother, and I became a Regulator to make sure creatures like that never hurt anyone again. What I never expected was to break into the Head of the Netherworld's office searching for answers, only to find out the man behind the desk is my father.

Melchior O'Neil. Elf. Crime boss. A man so deep in the illegal potions trade that nothing touches him. A man who let my mother raise me alone and never once came looking.

And the man standing beside him, the one I trusted for years, the one I called my boss and my friend? Quillan's been my father's right hand the entire time.

None of that matters right now, because Knight's in a Netherworld prison cell, beaten and running out of time, and my father's the only one with the power to save him. My father, who's wanted Knight dead for longer than I've been alive.

I'll bargain with the devil himself if it means bringing Knight home. I'll smile at the man who abandoned me and call him 'father' if that's what it costs. Because somewhere between the danger and the lies, I stopped being able to imagine a version of my life that doesn't have Knight Vander in it.

Family's supposed to mean something. So is love. Right now, I only have room to fight for one of them.

Blood and Inheritance is Book Four in the Knight's Fae series, where the family you're born into is never as strong as the one you choose to fight for.
