Overview

Eva Thorne saved the world but hopes no one remembers when she returns to Highcrowne six years later to start a new life. Low key this time. Right. All she ever wanted was some independence, including the freedom to knock bad guys in the head when needed, but the private investigator gig never worked out for her. She has no choice but to try, yet again, when the Elf Queen commands her to track down the political rival plotting her assassination-there's no proof but the queen knows someone wants her dead. As if that wasn't already the antithesis of a low-key case, the first egg produced by their near-extinct Avian rulers in centuries is stolen. Only the famed Eva Thorne can save the day. No one understands that she's not the same person she used to be. She's been learning necromancy, not detective work, and they won't think so highly of her when they realize she tried to bring back the God of Death, who they all fought so hard to defeat in the first place.
