He was being reckless again.
Henry can’t afford to be reckless. Not when the Fay are taking an unusual interest in changelings like him. Not when Cassandra is willing to elope with him despite his human and Fay enemies. And not when the Grigori begin snatching bodies for some nefarious new ritual.
Henry is stretching himself to protect his friends and the changelings from the Fay. After all, a magic blade is slowly eating Domin’s magic, and Amy’s spell and Jairus and Mary’s iron weapons are the only things keeping the Faerie Lords and Ladies at bay. He fears his magic won’t be enough to stop the Grigori as well. Especially not when it becomes clear they are planning something far more reckless than anything Henry has done. They hope to awaken an ancient power so dark and deep that even the Fay cannot stand against it. If Henry and his friends don’t stop the Grigori, a magical blight will destroy Britain and all of its inhabitants, mortal and Fay.
Fierce Magic is the concluding book in the Iron & Thorns gaslamp fantasy trilogy set in a Victorian England rife with adventure, romance, and magic.
