You can't keep a tough Pixie down… Lom is a bounty hunter, paid to bring magical creatures of all descriptions back Underhill, to prevent war with humans should they discover the strangers amongst them. Bella is about to find out she's a real life fairy princess, but all she wants to do is live peacefully in Alaska, where the biggest problems are hungry grizzly bears. He has to bring her in. It's nothing personal, it's his job… "They had almost had me, that once. I'd been young and foolish, trying to do something heroic, of course. I wouldn't do that again anytime soon. Now, I work for duty, but nothing more than is necessary to fulfill the family debt. I get paid, which makes me a bounty hunter, but she's about to teach me about honor. Like all lessons, this one was going to hurt. Fortunately, I have a good gun to fill my hand, and if I have to go, she has been good to look at." Dave Freer, author of Dog and Dragon, The Forlorn, and many others, says: ""To those of you who thought there was nothing new worth reading in Fantasy: Cedar Sanderson's Pixie Noir proves that you are wrong. The author plainly knows and loves her setting and characters, and this carries through to the reader. The pace picks up throughout, so save this book for a weekend, or you'll be complaining about a lack of sleep at work. A very good read!" "The unlikely love child of Monster Hunter International and the Princess Bride, this book has a delightfully strong yet feminine main character and is unalloyed fun all the way." --Sarah A. Hoyt, author of Darkship Thieves, Draw One in the Dark, and many others.
