The deepest darkest prison on the planet is not where anyone would choose to start their day, particularly when they have a job to do. A princess and her personal guards fighting to stop a war, arrested for trespassing; an expert assassin stalking a merciless wizard, arrested for poaching; and a confused boy, utterly lost and severely concussed, arrested for failing to adequately explain who he was or how he came to be lying in a sizable crater. Together this unlikely, and somewhat unwilling, band of allies will perform daring escapes and battle an onslaught of mages, monsters, and malodorous thieves as they race across a continent to save two nations from mutual annihilation.

"Café Vanellas sits in the middle of a bustling side street just off downtown Montréal, and here's an interesting factoid: it's staffed entirely by elves. " ===== In a world populated by humans, elves, satyrs, dragons, and the spirits of other clans long past, Toriv Vanellas is just a 30-something Montréal city elf trying to make a decent living as a small business owner. Surrounding him are his sometimes overbearing but always loving parents, friends of all kinds, a string of men of varying repute...and a university professor by the name of Mahendra Singh, whose timid exterior may be concealing the man to end the parade of men. A story about family, friendship, identity, duty, love, and coffee. {First draft, as of yet unbeta'd. Cover image by @boysterous.}

I was born with no name, but one day would be known as Lauren McNeil. How did I acquire the name? I borrowed it, from a girl who fell in love with a boy I also loved. The boy's name was Philip Ripton and he was the love of my life. For centuries, my ancestors have warned our people to avoid humans. Humans, although fascinating and different, brought nothing but destruction and chaos into the world we were forced to share. And, if given the opportunity, humans had the power to harm us-although, as a child, I had no idea how humans, who had no magical ability, had the power to hurt us. We are the Fae. We are powerful, wise, resourceful, and formidable. We are immortal and there's no way to kill us, besides iron, which is the only thing we fear. I couldn't understand why my people warned me against humans. Until the day I fell in love with a human boy who would, one day, have the power to render me powerless. My borrowed name is Lauren McNeil, but you can call me the Westbury Faery, and this is my story.
