Blood and Ashes

The Gryphons have a secret. And someone thinks Ana knows it. Back in May, things were heating up between healer Ana Miradwen and the King's Enforcer, Vincent Ondarr. Then Vincent stopped seeing Ana abruptly, only to resurface in July-with a fiancee. Ana's hurt, but she's angry too. When Vincent summons her to his office, she plans to tell him off. But Vincent has a proposition for her, and not one she expects. A half-breed rights group called the Gryphons is fighting for change-but it may be a front for something darker. Vincent needs Ana to join the Gryphons and investigate. Ana's happy to help, especially since it means spending time with a couple of gorgeous elf men. Never mind that Vincent thinks they're smugglers. But when someone tries to kill Ana, she realizes that she's in way over her head. Only it's too late to back out."
