Lexi Lopez: Fairy Bones & a Dragon's Eye, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Blurb

There are several ways to make a dead man talk and Nyia Marre knows them all.

When her husband's body is discovered, Nyia's first thought isn't grief-it's the dragon eye, their family's most valuable treasure...and her only chance at financial freedom.

Nyia is a Burner, a human with the rare ability to extract magic from mythic creatures, a gift coveted and controlled by her king. Now, with ruthless debt collectors closing in, she'll risk everything to reclaim the stolen dragon's eye. Her only lead points to Rafael Darkthorne, the king's royal procurer of mythic parts-and the last man she wants to trust.

Darkthorne swears he didn't kill her husband. In fact, he offers to help her find the dragon's eye...for a price. Teaming up with him means playing a dangerous game of bargains and betrayal but it is a price Nyia is all too willing to pay for her freedom. Darkthorne might be her only ally-and her greatest temptation, but Nyia isn't worried. She knows that magic burns. Some people just know how to hold the match.
