A Deadly Transaction, A Dangerous GameWhen Alastair Stone’s former apprentice Verity approaches him with the story of a drugged and caged Changeling she spotted at a magical black market in Europe, Stone is quick to offer his aid to locate the victim. Once on the Changeling’s trail, though, Stone and Verity soon discover they have stumbled upon the tip of a horrific iceberg—a shadowy organization operating deep underground, kidnapping specifically-targeted Changelings for an unspeakable fate. Drawing more of their group into the search, Stone and Verity continue tracking the organization despite growing danger—but whoever lurks at its root always remains a step ahead, almost as if taunting them. Finally, in a desperate effort to outsmart their foes, they hatch an uncertain and perilous plan to track them to their lair, reluctantly using an unlikely volunteer as bait. But there are things they don’t know that make the risk higher than ever—and if their enemy learns of the plan, it could mean not only failure, but the loss of a valued ally. Prepare to lose yourself in this #1 Amazon-bestselling urban fantasy series readers are calling “Unstoppable” and “A major winner!” Once you enter the world of Alastair Stone, you won’t want to leave.

R. L. King is the author of the Amazon-bestselling urban fantasy series The Alastair Stone Chronicles. When not doing her best to make life difficult for her characters, she works as a software technical writer for a large Silicon Valley database company. She also freelances for Catalyst Game Labs, publisher of the popular roleplaying game Shadowrun, where she's contributed fiction and game material to numerous sourcebooks and one full-length adventure, "On the Run," which was included as part of the 2012 Origins-Award-winning "Runners' Toolkit." Her first novel in the Shadowrun universe, "Borrowed Time," was published in Spring 2015. She's working on her second Shadowrun novel, "Veiled Extraction," which will be released in late 2016 or early 2017. When not writing or working, she enjoys hanging out with her very understanding spouse and her small herd of cats, and watching way too much Doctor Who.
