~The girl all Guildsmen fear~

“Run back to your masters. Tell them what you saw here. And you tell them the next time they send a sky-ship near the Ishi Mountains, I'm going to carve my father's name into her captain's chest before I paint the sky with his insides. Do you understand me?"
Jubei nodded. "I do..."

She pressed on his neck, her blade sinking a little farther in. Jubei gasped, not daring to move, blood welling and running down his throat. For an awful, terrifying moment, he could see it in her face' the desier to simply open him up, ear to ear, to bathe in the spray of his carotid and jugular, lathering the bloody froth from his windpipe on her hands. Her lips peeled back from her teeth, blade twitching in his flesh, looking over him like a terror from some children's story, some nightmare sprung inexplicably to life.

The girl all Guildsmen fear.

"Please," he whispered. "Please..."

Emrys—a fiery, red-headed Fae—always embraced her life in the Highlands, far from the city’s draining technology, until she’s sent to London to rejoin the Faery Guard. But this isn’t any normal assignment—she’s sent to guard Prince Richard: Britain’s notorious, partying bad boy and soon-to-be King. The prince’s careless ways and royal blood make him the irresistible for the dark spirits that feed on mortals. Sweet, disheveled, and alive with adventure—Richard is one charge who will put Emrys’s magic and heart to the test.

When an ancient force begins preying on the monarchy, Emrys must hunt through the London’s magical underworld, facing down Banshees, Black Dogs and Green Women to find the one who threatens Richard’s life. In this chaos of dark magic, palace murders and paparazzi, Emrys finds herself facing an impossible choice. For despite all her powers, Emrys has discovered a force that burns brighter than magic: love. 

Why am I waiting for it?

Faeries and Myths in London, plus the monarchy and epic love. Yes, please.
