This quest for a magical sword might just have a double edge. Cheating husbands are the worst, but barring her from teaching archaeology anywhere in the country? Clearly their relationship is ancient history. Now Hunter Jones must find a new gig, and flower arranging isn’t it. Imagine her surprise when she discovers she’s half fae and is offered the chance to vie for a professorship at the Crown Academy. The only problem? To get the job she has to go on a dangerous quest against magical adversaries to find the famed sword of the Middle Ages, rumored to be Excalibur. In competition for the position is the too hot, young valedictorian, Exeter, who has spent his entire life working toward this professorship. He’s not going to let a middle-aged newbie to the magical world take the opportunity from him. Only, they must work together as they travel to Ireland, moving through both the human and the magical world as they seek the sword. Can Hunter keep up with the competition, or is her husband right about her losing her touch?

This quest for the crucible may be the trial that destroys Hunter. Mistakes have been made, and Hunter Jones is determined to right her wrongs. Her broken heart and thirst for redemption lead her on another adventure, this one to Scotland as she seeks the crucible that will save the werewolves from the vampires who are out to murder every last wolf. But this time, Hunter is no one’s fool. She understands the magical world just enough to know that everything is not as it seems and her allies can easily turn into her enemies. The tall, dark stranger the wolves send to accompany her is supposedly there to help her, but can she trust him, and will her divided focus be the death of her?
