Misery died so she could save the world.

That's what they told her.

Turns out they lied.

She was once a holy warrior with a noble cause. Now she's using her earth magic to scrape by, meal to meal, motel to motel, city to city, one step ahead of those who call her traitor. Her jobs aren't glamorous, but in the end, beggars can't be choosers and work pays the bills.

Denver was supposed to be just one more stop over. But between an overly enthusiastic roommate, a gorgeous healer, and a challenging – not to mention lucrative – job for the Chimera Lord of Denver, Misery isn't finding it easy to leave.

When she discovers the lesser fae are going missing, Misery finds a new cause, a paycheck and many reasons to stay. She just hopes pursuing them won't get her killed...again.
