Here’s the set-up:
Is it a powerful idea or just a pipe dream? In the year 2019, from Washington, D.C., to Napa, California, to Tokyo, Brad Oaks pursues an ingenious international trade proposal that would rescue a family steel business and a scarce natural resource. He has conceived of a way to unravel bureaucratic snarls that stymie the Wishbone Pipeline project so crucial to his client, Elgar Steel. New to the Washington lobbying scene, Brad immediately encounters resistance at the muzzle of a sniper’s rifle. Just when he tries to pitch his proposal to the United States trade representative, the Elgar family is thrown into turmoil, and Brad must fly to Tokyo to chase down a previously unknown heir to the family business. That heir turns out to be Amaya Mori, a Japanese woman of sophistication, intellect, and beauty. Brad is smitten. He and all three heirs to Elgar Steel become targets in a capricious, international plot to sabotage America’s infrastructure. It doesn’t help matters that two of them, twin sisters, are at odds over the Wishbone pipe dream. Brad’s heroic effort to restore order brings him face to face with his own stark solitude. Diplomacy, danger and desire collide in this suspenseful, fast-paced geopolitical business thriller ripped right out of next year’s newspapers.

Here’s the set-up:
Would you like to hear a real fairy tale? A story about the war between us and them. A war which led to a truce and a truce which led to the creation of a secret society. There are councils you know nothing about, councils of fairies and of humans who write laws which govern us both. Laws you also know nothing about, yet you are held accountable to them. If you break these laws, the Wild Hunt of Fairy will come for you, but don’t worry too much, it’s hard to break laws concerning things you don’t believe in. Fairies tend to break the truce more than humans and that’s where I come in. I’m part of a military force which monitors the Fey. When they cross the line we extinguish their light… permanently. I’m Extinguisher Seren Sloane and I can tell you a real fairy’s tale, if you’re brave enough to listen.
