Starlight Jewel (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798223390572)

The human city of Minalav is renowned for its lavish balls, where nobles bring wealth from distant lands to the Starlight Palace, to be romanced-and robbed-by the half-human hybrids who live below the city. The wealthy guests leave without their treasure, and with no memory of their evening-except the unforgettable feelings that bring them back, season after season. But the magic of Minalav is built on dark secrets and lies.

Axly, a hybrid assassin and seductress-thief, will do anything to protect her human half-brother. The path of blood and chaos she carves will tip the precious balance of Minalav, and the world around it.
