Two decades ago, the sky split open over a tiny town in middle America, and Creatures fell to Earth. Magic entered our world with a crack and a flash, and it hasn’t stopped since. The tiny town turned into a sprawling megalopolis of neon and steel almost overnight and the world was irrevocably changed. Shaina Gilbert happens to like it that way. She likes the story book “monsters” made real, even more. As a Lady of Laratia—a high end escort exclusively catering to non-human patrons—she specializes in the Creatures others are too scared to entertain. When a lich makes an offer, she’s delighted to make him hers for the night. But not everyone likes their new neighbors, and an unsanctioned outing with her lich proves more dangerous than Shaina ever imagined.
Author
Dalia Davies fell into monster romance—almost by accident—and loves it here. She drinks her weight in tea every day and has been told on numerous occasions that she “knows too much”. She pairs old gods, monsters, and aliens with human women who get exactly what they want and maybe a little more than they came for. Brought up on fairytales read while hiding in the back stacks of her small-town library and sneaking in creature features at friends' homes, she always wanted a way to meld two fantasies into one. When not writing, she plays the banjo poorly, dreams of traveling the world, and avoids large crowds and loud noises. Living in the southwestern US, she lets the outside heat permeate her stories and hopes they leave you panting. This is, of course, a pen name. It is one of many I write under.
