      Discordia

      A Fire Elemental, fae that eat the dead, and the apple that started the Trojan War...

      Fire Elemental Diana’s first solo mission is a disappointing one—stop a pack of carrion-eating fae from eating tourists in the Everglades. But then a Greek God’s relic complicates her simple case.

      Chapter 1
