Showing results for "The Others" in Dragons & Mythical Creatures

I’m Jinx. As a private investigator, being a walking, talking lie detector is a useful skill - but let’s face it, it’s not normal. When I’m hired to find a missing university student, I hope to find her propped up at a bar - yet my gut tells me there’s more to this case than a party girl gone wild. She’s also being tracked by the implacable and oh-so-sexy Inspector Stone. Stone and I team up, and he shoves me into a realm where magic is real – a place where there are vampires and werewolves, dragons and trolls.

I’m Jinx, a run-of-the-mill private investigator...except I’m also a walking, talking lie detector. Oh, and I belong to magical realm known as the Other. Murder isn’t usually my gig, but when I’m hired to investigate the death of a dryad called Reggie, I agree to help out because I know his grieving widow. It should be an easy case to crack, a mugging gone wrong, but the murder scene photos show it was anything but. Reggie’s death has all the hallmarks of my parents’ murders so I’ll stop at nothing to finding his killers.

Dragon shifter Edra has always lived to serve and protect—in ages past as a knight, and in the modern world as a mytho liaison to the San Francisco PD. Behind the scenes he safeguards the mythos community from scandal—and further human hatred. When the eggs of a rare greater dragon are stolen, Edra must find and return them before the mother razes the city.

The fallout of unicorn magic brings Jordan and Edra closer together. For Edra, the strengthened bond between them is exhilarating and terrifying, and everything he believed he’d never have again. But Jordan is struggling with defining what is him and what is Edra when he barely knows himself. When griffins descend on the city, killing several people, and then claim sanctuary from hunters, it’s up to Jordan and the rest of Mytho Investigations to uncover the truth before humans start calling for the griffins’ death.

Jordan and Edra aren’t the only ones thinking about their wedding, and some people don’t want it to happen. The destruction of several Mythological Services buildings around the country has revealed there are still people who view the mythological refugees as something less than human, despite the law now recognizing them as equal.
