Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The USA Today bestselling author of the Blood Singer series begins an exciting, romantic urban fantasy series with the story of Brianna Hai, who just wants to lead a normal life. Fat chance when your mother's a witch and your father's King of the Fae.
But Brianna's doing her best. She runs a small occult shop that sells useless trinkets to tourists...but real magic supplies and artifacts to those who know how to ask. She dates occasionally, and has just met a really great guy, a cop who happens to be the brother of one of her closest friends.
But that gargoyle by the shop door? He's not a carving. He's alive, and Brianna's guardian. And upstairs, in her apartment, is the last remaining portal between earth and the realm of the Fae--a world that Brianna left in her teens, a place she has vowed never to return.
Until a shocking magical assault on her home leads Brianna to invade the land she once called home and reveals that the plots and counterplots of her youth continue to roil the royal court. Her father, King Leu, is under attack--and she, Brianna, the exile, has been named the next heir to the throne of Faerie. It's a very dangerous seat.
A suspenseful urban fantasy with a hint of romance, The Exile is the first solo novel by C. T. Adams, who is half of USA Today bestselling author Cat Adams. Like the Cat Adams Blood Singer novels, The Exile is set in a world where magic is real and contains Adams's trademark blend of suspense, action, humor, and strongly emotional writing.
"A Tom Doherty Associates book."
"Let slip the dogs of war. The faerie world Brianna remembers from childhood was a place of wonders and delights. But by the time she was a teenager, the eternal jockeying over the succession had become a grim business of shifting allegiances and secrets bargains for power. Brianna and her mother--a human, a witch, and, for a time, the lover of the Fae king--fled to Earth. To protect her half-human, half-Fae, definitely royal daughter, Brianna's mother changed the Veil that separates the two worlds, making it impenetrable by faerie magic. Since then, Brianna has mostly lived as a human. She runs a small magic shop, selling herbs, magical objects, and the occasional spell--keeping always to First, Do No Harm--with the help of her best friend and protector, a living stone gargoyle. Brianna is unaware that in the Fae world, events foretold in an ancient prophecy begin to come to pass ... placing everything and everyone she holds dear in dire jeopardy"--Page 4 of cover.
