Deadly Steel

In the shadowy world where the supernatural realm of the Fae intersects with ours, a menacing threat stirs. The Rakshasa, a ruthless demon lord, hungers for his long-lost magical pipe and revenge. His sole intent — to bring a demonic army into our world, and take his revenge on the fae, even if it means obliterating our very existence.

Responding to the looming dread, the indomitable Queen of the Fae mobilizes her elite sleuths. Meet the 'Deadly Duo' — when they're on the hunt, the unsuspecting prey is already on borrowed time. Their mission? Uncover the nine arcane locks safeguarding portals to the ominous underworld, the den of the Rakshasa.

Fae espionage master, Elain Edeirnion and her adoptive vampire brother, Neirin, find themselves in the boroughs of New York City. Their objective? Recover the elusive Drath'Girion, a potent artifact capable of unlocking time-weathered secrets etched in another mysterious tome.

But the city that never sleeps is also the playground of treacherous beings. Shifter mafia overlords vie for control, while Fabiana, the enigmatic queen of the wererats, deepens the enigma with her cryptic moves. Navigating this labyrinth of danger and deception, every step draws the duo closer to the inevitable clash with the mythical Rakshasa.

In a thrilling saga that plumbs the depths of darkness and reveals startling truths, Elain and Neirin must employ all their wits and skills to outgame their adversaries. The stakes are cataclysmic: stem the tide of impending chaos or watch as Hell is unleashed upon humanity. Will they rise to the challenge, or will they falter?
