ELVES VS ALIENS PART 5: Road to Avalon

Sometimes, the only thing you can do is spit blood.
KATIE's familiar with the taste by now. When the deathless MATIL threaten the love of her life, they're doing her a huge favor. She meets a beautiful stranger who's kind, brave, and maddeningly gentle. If only this iron bracelet weren't eating into her wrist, she might almost enjoy meeting FOX.
Sometimes, all you can hope for is a partner in crime.
FOX has been enslaved before, and he's not planning on making it a habit. With the MATIL inside his head and their lies in his ears, he'll need help to get out alive. Then he meets a too-small girl with a too-big heart, and suddenly survival isn't enough. Will he reach too far?
Sometimes, you think you'd be better off dead.
JATUS has never fit the mold, even among the "Perfect Average" of the MATIL. Since losing Moblay, nothing's right, not even her mind. Fox is so far outside her realm of experience she can't look away, but he's doing dangerous things no good MATIL would ever dream of.
Sometimes, all you can do is get through the day.
Or days. Whatever. BERI can't really keep track while he's cooked on human drugs. The High King of Faerie is trapped in the gears of Colorado's mental health machine and high enough to see gods. But he's getting out - and when he does, he'll take the fight to the deathless sons of mothers who started this whole mess. If only he could convince her brother she's still alive.
