Mercenary (Blood Trails #5)

USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Blackstream brings a darker twist to urban fantasy with the latest heart-pounding installment of the Blood Trails series. Political intrigue is for wizards. Shade has never agreed with her old mentor's advice more than she does now. But if unraveling a political conspiracy is her only chance to escape the past month of magical boot camp and goblin-sparring, interspersed with seductive attempts by her sidhe master to make their relationship permanent, then so be it. A government spook saw something he shouldn't have--a glimpse of the Otherworld. Now his life is in danger, and it's up to Shade to save him. Unfortunately, there are a lot of monsters behind the scenes pulling political strings. Demons, sidhe, sorceresses, even the vampiric crime lord of Cleveland himself. Any one of them could have frightened the political fixer into madness. And they'll do much worse to Shade if she threatens to uncover their secrets...
