Dissonance

A secretive community, prideful conjurers, shattering mistrust...

Nate Hansen's life was turned upside down when he discovered the hidden, supernatural side of the small town of Ashport, and the role Maggie Evans plays in guarding it against threats.

With his recent life-changes, everyone seems to be questioning his every move. It doesn't get easier when he's charged with looking into a crime connected to those with otherworldly powers. It's a job that won't make him any more trusted among the town's shadow side, including a certain mender...

Maggie has gotten a taste of how good life can be with the right person in it. But her responsibilities and loyalty to her Community make it hard to break old habits of distrust and secrecy. Duty bound to protect her kind from a cunning outside menace, she soon comes to find that not all of her people are deserving of her protection.

When a young member of Maggie's Community is in dire need of help, she and Nate must put their misgivings aside and join forces to aid him. But trust is not easily gained, nor given. Can Maggie and Nate save the child as well as keep the bond between them from breaking?
