About this listen
There's nothing Val enjoys more than a cheerful bar brawl.
Val is expanding her horizons as she settles into her new abode. Her jewelry business is taking off, and she's also found a pub or two for relaxing. Plus, she's got the bodyguard business, and the occasional bouncing gig. Busy dwarf!
She's also learning the art and science of having friends.
One of them, Stella, will be moving, which forces Val to make a choice.
Has she finally found a world that will accept her? Does she want to make it her home?
Then Anne, her first client who is now a friend as well, calls her about another protection job, and she can't say no.
A red-carpet event and a movie star. When Val shows up, the venue's manager doesn't make things easy. Dicks get measured, and the winner is . . .

Story
I knew three things about my life before adoption: I was a baby rescued from a blazing house fire, I was found in the arms of a dead man, and no one ever came to claim me. No one. Not ever. Now, as a Montreal detective, I'm dedicated to hunting truths for a living. Unheard voices. Cold cases. Unsolved mysteries. Unearthing secrets hidden in the shadows is my jam. Until the fae veil falls . . . When the world learns magic is real, everything changes. Montreal begins seething with prana energy, dormant genes activate, and seemingly normal humans experience magical awakenings.
