Gemstones, Elves, and Other Insidious Magic
A Paranormal / Urban Fantasy Novel by Meghan Ciana Doidge
Book 9 of the Dowser Series
Subgenres & Tropes:
- Elves,
- Assassins,
- Revenge
This book is for you if you're into...
- Urban fantasy where baking skills meet magical warfare
- Elves as ruthless adversaries not just mystical allies
- Heroines who wield both cupcakes and vengeance
I'd been compromised, then turned against those I loved. But no one controlled me. No one took anything I didn't willingly offer. Not for long, anyway. If the elves wanted a war, I'd bring it. The instruments of assassination would come out to play. The dragon slayer would wreak bloody, sticky vengeance. And then I was getting freaking married — no elves invited. Even a baker of cupcakes and a maker of trinkets occasionally had to set aside the chocolate, the spice, and everything nice to save her friends. And her city.
Gemstones, Elves, and Other Insidious Magic is the ninth book in the Dowser Series, which is set in the same universe as the Oracle, Reconstructionist, Amplifier, Archivist, and Misfits of the Adept Universe series. While it is not necessary to read all the series, in order to avoid spoilers the ideal reading order of the Adept Universe begins with Cupcakes, Trinkets, and Other Deadly Magic (Dowser 1).
