The competition over, Nymea Blut and her guard are back to real life, with a new objective. Queen Verity has decreed that Blutfeuer, Nymea’s family wineries and distilleries, branch out into the human realm, in order to bring more revenue into their new vision of Faerie. Nymea is ready and able, though she is going forward grudgingly. A woman set in her ways, Nymea isn’t interested in humanity or humans, only creating her infusions and living quietly with her rag tag guard. If this will help Faerie, then she is a team player, but opposition is on the horizon. But with new opportunities comes mysteries and provocations that Nymea and her guard are not prepared to handle. Flying blind through the world of corporate espionage wasn’t on the docket for their next phase but it seems nothing is ever cut and dry or easy. And it’s going to take all their cunning and resources to make this transition as bloodless as possible.
