Blurb:
Geopolitical babysitting while arresting preternatural killers,
it’s just the daily grind for Scion Rowan Brady. Brash and sarcastic, Rowan has sold her life,
her career and her very blood to the controlling paranormal ruling class of
America, all to make sure her kid brother can eat. Now she uses her powers as a
scion to kick the ass of any preternatural creature idiotic enough to break the
rules and prey upon humanity without a license. All it costs her is her freedom
and a pint or two per week to her new Master.
But juggling her job and duties becomes even tougher when she
is tasked with keeping a contingency of diplomats from Canada from getting
gnawed on. However, negotiations for an International Blood Exchange are
interrupted when bodies start showing up.
Now Rowan must rely on her talent and wit to defend the
society she despises to save the lives she’s sworn to protect. But as she
stumbles into the truth, she chances becoming a target of not only these
killers, but of her own government. With shifters, ghosts, vampires and
psychics all watching her, can she stop the killings before she is silenced?

share more and more until I wanted to share with everyone.
