Held by Magic

2018

I helped the Four Horsemen save the world, but I can’t save my own life. I’m Syv. I like to collect sharp weapons, and my favourite activity is liberating magical items. My best friend is an immortal fae, and I love dogs. I’m not enthusiastic about end of the world scenarios. Okay, I’m a half-demon thief with an attitude that brings me more enemies than friends. But the fae part is true. My life had returned to normal, but everything changed when my latest assignment ended in disaster. Somebody took the item I was ‘liberating’ and also decided to curse me with a death mark. If I don’t find the cure soon, I’m facing life as a lich under the control of a necromancer. And I swear the demonic dog I rescued from the apocalypse is following me. Now, three sexy supernatural guys have tracked me down in need of my ability to detect magic. They want to recruit me to work alongside them and under their protection. The guys need me to locate an item and also claim they know someone who can find a cure for my mark. So, we strike a deal: I’ll help them if they help me. The problem is, I’m not sure I trust their so-called ‘secret organisation’. Another problem? They’re on the Four Horsemen’s hit list because they shouldn’t be in this world. As my death is imminent and options limited, I’ve agreed to leave with them tonight. But if they murder me, I’m going to be really pissed off. Don't miss this new series from the world of The Four Horsemen, LJ Swallow's addictive bestselling reverse harem series. Held by Magic is a slow burn reverse harem urban fantasy.

Shades of Magic

2021

A demon unleashes. The dark fae return. And a hellhound is missing. Releasing demons from boxes doesn't endear me to the Four Horsemen, but I have a bigger problem than War's wrath. Dex either took himself on a long walk, or somebody abducted him. Kudos to anybody who could wrangle him into submission. My dealings with the fae grow more complicated, and the Collector introduces me to Rian, the fae capable of defeating the demons and restoring the court. Now all Rian needs to do is depose the queen and deal with the uprising. Simple. My sex life grows more interesting by the day, which is at least a distraction from the death sentence hanging over me. These demons are something else. I finally discover why the demon prince is tracking me down and how I'm connected to these sought-after boxes. But if I have to face any more surprise revelations, I'll convince myself I'm in one of Morgan's parallel worlds. There's not enough whiskey in the world to deal with all this. Can Rian restore the fae court before the dark fae tear the race apart again? And can somebody please pay me for all the work I've done? Held by Magic is the final book in the reverse harem urban fantasy series The Demon’s Fae from USA Today bestselling author LJ Swallow. Fast-paced supernatural action, magic, adventure and a medium-burn romance with three unusual but devoted guys, all led by a kickass heroine with a very British sense of humour. Please note these books are written in British English and contain spelling, grammar and idiom that may seem incorrect to some readers.
