The Rosewood Penny

J.S. Fields

The dragons of Yuro have been hunted to extinction. 
 
 
 
On a small, isolated island, in a reclusive forest, lives bandit leader Marani and her brother Jacks. With their outlaw band they rob from the rich to feed themselves, raiding carriages and dodging the occasional vindictive pegasus. Thanks to Marani's mysterious invulnerability, this mostly works out well . . . until Marani and her quirky band of outlaws plunder the carriage of the very bossy princess Nuria. 
 
 
 
The princess's carriage contains not just gold, but a dragonscale comb that belonged to Marani's murdered mother. Worse yet, Princess Nuria seems to know exactly who Marani is, maybe more than Marani herself. 
 
 
 
Marani hatches a plan to retrieve her mother's comb, seduce the princess, and make her entire bandit crew rich in the process. But island politics and the island of Yuro itself have other things in mind. Marani and Jacks quickly find themselves caught between warring monarchies, trade disputes, feral pegasi, and a very old, very concerning family lineage—all bound within an old penny, a mouthy princess, and a stolen comb.

When the body of a beautiful and wealthy doctor is discovered in her high-rise apartment – all alone with the doors locked from the inside – nobody can understand how or why her life has been so brutally cut short.

Detective Jacqueline “Jack” Kent may have never worked a murder case before, but that’s not going to stop her trying.

Jack throws herself into the investigation, determined to beat the twisted climber at their own game. But the crime scene prompts harrowing memories for Jack, who’s still haunted by the death of her best friend Hannah, killed on a mountain only months before. Jack lived that day while Hannah died beside her. Night after night, she relives her friend’s final moments in her dreams.

When the body of another victim is found, it’s clear that someone evil is trying to get Jack’s attention. Could the killer be one of her own close circle of friends from childhood?
