Newly promoted Detective Jace Smithson has his hands full with solving the murders of ten men and the kidnapping of a unicorn capable of producing diamonds. On the surface, the crime appears to be a classic tale of greed and violence, but digging deeper reveals something sinister has come to Cauldron City.
Securing the safety and security of those he swore to protect is only the beginning of Jace’s problems. Add in his relationship with the dragons of Cauldron City along with a few personal secrets, and he’s the ideal target for the killer. Surviving to tell the tale will test his wit and skills in ways he never thought possible.
But if he wants to obtain justice for the wronged, he will have to face his challenged beliefs and come to terms with the darker realities of the city he calls home.

Happy book birthday to you! And that watercolor is stunning. Is it from the hardback?
I’ve read it twice already and enjoyed every minute. Looking forward to the print version when it’s out!
Yes, that’s the artwork I licensed to create the headers for the hardback edition. 🙂
I loved this; it was wonderful!
Happy Book Day to you!
Such a fun and snarky book. Seriously enjoyed reading it.
Wonderful.
I’m looking forward to the next entry in the Cauldron City chronicles.
Excellent book, and gorgeous unicorn painting!
Loved the book, looking forward to the next one
It may be the first under this pseudonym and in this series, but it’s one of the best, yet.
I’ve just got started on your new book. An I’m having a hard time putting it down. “ Dead weight “ magic and mayhem.
Fantastic reading, thx
Loved it! I was unsure, from the preliminary info, but I’ve read it and love it!
Thank you for the post about the book birthday – I am a book-only patreon subscriber and forgot we get the book a few days early. I’m trying a new thing of going online to review books by indie authors right when I finish reading them. I went on to the evil retailer and it told me I couldn’t review because the book wasn’t released yet. Then you very conveniently post a blog post (which I get an email about) and so I didn’t forget to post a review! This would be a very long-winded way of saying your efforts to gently train your readers is working, lol!! Thank you for the very enjoyable new book.
Happy book birthday! Loved it.
Love,love,love this book!!!! This is a series winner. Couldn’t put it down. Loved the snark, humor along with the intense police action. And of course, who can resist grumpy dragons and cheeky unicorns! More please ( when it fits comfortably into Your schedule)
Incredible book! I’m trying to decide how long to wait before I re-read it. Far too much fun, with great action and a cool new magic system.
Loved it!!!
