Temporal Gifts

Sometimes taking the high road isn't an option. The elven summit taught Arden Finch one thing: that some people only respond to tough consequences. It's not the way she wants to rule, but securing her territory and her home comes first-especially when werewolf blood finds its way into human hands. Now Arden must tackle the threat the mundanes have become, even if it exposes her true power to the Bureau for Supernatural Investigation. When she's also forced to confront betrayal from her own people, the fallout is deadly. All that would be difficult enough on its own, but both Arden's magic and the trickster gods are making more trouble for her. Hell breaks loose like never before, leaving Arden to face her greatest challenge since the Wild Hunt.
