Stakes and Bones by Ken Bebelle & Julia Vee

Roxy’s got two hammers, her Breaker magic, and a deathbed promise she made to her father.

The Seattle Slayers, an elite cadre of fighters who protect the city, is having their Trials for new initiates. My dad was a Slayer–one of the best. I thought his legacy might give me an edge in the Trials, but I was wrong. If anything, it made them harder on me.

But joining the Slayers is my best chance to save my mom. And, maybe, I need to see if I can fill my dad’s shoes.

The only things standing between me and my dreams are the other elite fighters and magic users who want their spot on the Slayers too. I will battle fae warriors, river demons, and a vicious animage who hates my guts.

I’ve got my hands full but a certain vampire princeling complicates my life even further. He’s powerful, handsome, and deadly–a combination I find hard to resist.

I’ve trained and fought hard to earn my place in the Slayers. But when my shifter landlady, Mrs. Chu, goes missing in the Wilds, I must choose between carrying out my duties with the Slayers or venturing into the dangerous Wilds to find her. My heart tells me what I have to do.

My search leads me to an abandoned ranch converted into an unholy enterprise. The problem? Hundreds of rogue vampires are roosting there, gaining control over their bloodthirst at an unprecedented rate. And they are all loyal to O’Malley, a vampire determined to tip the balance of power in Seattle.

The cost? Shifter blood.

O’Malley’s plan will kill all the shifters. I have to do something.

When Tyee shows up in the Wilds, hot on the trails of a missing member of the Night Court we strike a bargain. But will it be enough to stop O’Malley’s war?
