When a sacred Water-Gem gifted by the Lady of the Lake vanishes, Ebrel Dymestl finds herself at the center of a crisis that ripples through the fae world. If the gem isn’t recovered quickly, ancient alliances could fracture—and her Aunt Rose, sister to the Fae Queen, may be forced into a humiliating apology that could ignite something far worse.
At the same time, Misty Valley plays host to an acrobatic airshow unlike any other. Vintage biplanes roar across the sky, piloted by daring fae flyers whose rivalries burn as hot as their engines. When a performance nearly turns fatal, it becomes clear the theft and the danger overhead are part of the same tangled plot.
Ebrel must navigate fae politics, airborne sabotage, and simmering grudges before the truth crashes down—taking Misty Valley with it.
High stakes. High altitude. And a witch-barista racing against time to keep the skies—and the fae world—intact.
An urban fantasy mystery packed with magical aviation, fae intrigue, and cozy charm.
Alyn Troy is American from the Midwest (Indiana) who writes The Mystic Brews and Pixie Twist series of Cozy Mysteries. In addition to Indiana, he's lived in Southern California, where the Pixie Twist series is set, and has served as a history docent on notable pier in SoCal. In his past lives, he's been a journalist, a wedding photographer, and an adjunct professor. Alyn gets daily assistance from his fuzzy familiar (AKA "Lord Fuzzbutt"). When not helping his human with the writing of paranormal cozy mysteries, Lord Fuzzbutt likes to sit out outside and watch the hummingbirds dart about like pixies. He often yowls at the door, waiting to head to the patio for chipmunk duty. Fortunately, the little rodents are craftier than Fuzzbutt is. Alyn's beverage of choice is dark roast coffee with a dash of honey, and a splash of half-n-half. In addition to being half-way competent with his home espresso machine, Alyn makes a mean Mai Tai.
