City of The Crooked (Crooked Souls #1)

Rin Adachi only wants one thing in life-a shit ton of money!

The word 'Retirement' to her is sweeter than any spoken sentiment. She's been hunting monsters for decades, and yet any shred of money she makes is barely enough to last her through the month. Living in the vibrant, ever-progressing city of New Eden just adds to the ridiculous amount of overpriced things she needs to pay for. She can't possibly return home, for she's indefinitely banned from ever stepping foot into any squared inch of the Oni Court.

When things seem bleak, an opportunity presents itself when Aleksandr Novak, a renowned mage from the Magi Court and an old 'acquaintance,' offers her two million tokens to be a part of his top-secret team. Rin is skeptical at first, especially since the job comes from none other than the enigmatic Crones of the Bone Court; the three sisters with the power over souls.

But the promise of two million is too tempting to pass by, even if she's recruited to investigate the sudden disappearance of Amahle Khumalo; the Princess of the Silver Eel Court who is known for possessing and confining one of the infamous six sealed beasts.

Finding the missing royal is just one of the many things Rin has to deal with. Among those are the unlikely individuals she is paired with; a fae con artist with the ability to shapeshift, an assassin cursed to have no face, a noble General that can command the waters, a daemon prince determined to find his fiancée, and a human man sentenced to death.
