Blood and Fate

After saving the world, reluctant sorcerer Thomas Quinn just wants a quiet life running his shop in Philadelphia, but with a tribunal looming and his knack for trouble still intact, he may find himself pulled back into a battle for humanity once again. YOU CAN'T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT . . . After saving the world (again), Thomas Quinn wants nothing more but to return to a quiet life, be forgotten by the world, and run his little shop of esoteric goods in Philadelphia. But it seems fate has other plans, when he accidentally uncovers a problem in the source of magic itself, and he's once again called upon to figure out what it all means. His investigation takes him back to the Otherworld, where he tangles with a beautiful and mysterious Faerie maiden, monsters of myth and legend, the dangerous intricacies of Fae hospitality, beings once regarded as gods, and eventually the nature of reality itself. And on top of all that, someone keeps trying to kill him. So much for a quiet life.
