Cruel Fate

Three years after learning that her biological parents are convicted serial killers, Olivia has rebuilt her life. She works as an investigator for the notorious defense attorney Gabriel Walsh, and the two are now a couple, splitting their time between Chicago and Cainsville. In Cainsville she also holds her role as the legendary Mallt-y-Nos among the town's fae.

One wish remains unmet. Her father, Todd Larsen, has spent more than twenty years in prison for crimes he did not commit. Now he is released, and Olivia can finally have him close.

Todd is not wholly innocent, though. He did kill one man, a serial killer, and that death set off the events that put him behind bars. Before he can settle in with Olivia and Gabriel, the body of that victim turns up, with planted clues pointing the police toward the family.

Someone wants Todd back in a cell. It may be an enemy with a personal grudge, or a fae aiming at Olivia through the one threat she cannot ignore. She has to identify the culprit before her father is taken from her a second time, and this time permanently.
