Mage Jonathan Leeds has built himself a comfortable life owning and operating an exclusive night club in London, far from the iron grasp of his family. But when his father, Gordon, abruptly summons him to the Seattle Metroplex, John finds himself a stranger in a strange land, thrown into the wilds of the โPlex to manage a situation apparently only he can handle. Although heโd prefer to ignore his fatherโs wishes, John knows that no oneโfamily or foeโsays no to Gordon Leeds. At least, not if they want to live to tell about it.
But family obligations arenโt the only reason John is in Seattle. His patron back in England, Lord Callen Nassau, has asked him to look for a missing woman. John is only too happy to oblige, as the elegant elf noble is everything his father is not. But when Gordonโs and Callenโs tasks intertwine in unexpected ways, John is forced to question everything he knows about both men, and soon discovers not all that glitters is gold.
When the desires of these rich and powerful beings collide in the Sixth World, John finds himself a pawn in their vicious game. If heโs to escape the Emerald City in one piece, John knows he must take control of the situationโany way he canโor suffer the lethal consequences.
