Meet Tori. Sassy redhead, ex-waitress with an attitude, and human bartender of a magic guild. Three Mages and a Margarita opens the hilarious and heartwarming Guild Codex series.
The MPD has three roles: keep magic hidden, keep mythics under control, and don’t screw up the first two. Kit Morris is the wrong guy for the job on all counts.
A bold and sidesplitting new adventure awaits magic-less guild bartender Tori in Dark Arts and a Darquiri. Bad guys will be vanquished. Somehow.
I’m not a badass mage like my three smokin’ hot best friends. I’m not a sorcerer or an alchemist, or even a wussy witch. I’m just a human, slinging drinks like a pro and keeping my non-magical nose out of mythic business. Seriously, I know my limits.
So why am I currently standing in a black-magic ritual circle across from a fae lord?
When a bounty hunting job goes wrong, a mysterious aeromage saves Aaron’s life…
Only one thing matters to Kai: getting the job done, and doing it better than anyone else. But when a beautiful thief crashes his security gig, claiming she’s trying to protect the valuable artifact he’s guarding, all his careful plans go up in flames. He doesn’t believe a word she says—until the item is stolen right out from under them.
A demon has been loosed in the city. My three best friends are determined to slay it, but even badass combat mages are critically out-magicked. And that’s not all. The monster they’re tracking–it’s not hiding. The demon is hunting too.
If we can’t unravel the demon’s sinister motivations, more innocent people will die, but finding the answers means digging into dark secrets…and learning truths I never wanted to know.
Meet Robin Page: outcast sorceress, mythic history buff, unapologetic bookworm, and the last person you’d expect to command the rarest demon in the long history of summoning. Taming Demons for Beginners opens an all-new series in hilarious urban fantasy The Guild Codex.
Agent Kit Morris. Has a nice ring, doesn’t it? But my promotion to MagiPol agent comes with a few drawbacks.
First, supremely talented and effortlessly gorgeous Agent Lienna Shen won’t agree to a dinner date with me. Second, my new assignment has pitted me against a guild with very bad taste in pets. Third, those pets are demons, and those demons want to kill me.
Meeting Aaron’s famous parents is already terrifying enough, but I’ve got a bigger problem. Students of his family’s renowned mage academy are being attacked on the grounds—and somehow no one has seen a single assailant? Unexplained tracks litter the nearby woods, rumors of forbidden alchemy are circulating the campus… and Ezra has been acting strangely since we arrived. Something deadly is brewing in the shadow of Sinclair Academy, and the longer we take to uncover it, the more dangerous it becomes.
I’m bound to a demon. He’s ruthless, he’s temperamental, he’s cold. But he protects me without fail. I wonder if he’s hiding a heart behind his hostility. My demon is a monster. Whether he’s heartless or not, my contract with him is illegal and beyond dangerous. Together, we must find a way to return him to his own world before anyone discovers our secret. If that wasn’t bad enough, I’ve come to realize something else: My demon isn’t the only monster I should be worried about.
There’s bad, and then there’s bad. And I’m not sure which applies to a certain dark druid/wanted criminal/reluctant friend of mine. His transgressions include black-magic dealings, kidnapping, and murder, and he’s about to add “revenge-fueled killing spree” to his resume—if I don’t stop him. He and his nemesis are gearing up to tear each other apart, rogues and vultures are converging with their sights on the spoils, and the guilds that would normally stomp them into the ground are under attack. We’re on the brink of an all-out criminal turf war, and my time to decide is almost up. Who’s the real bad guy… and do I dare stand in his way?
My parents taught me that magic attracts equal danger, and everything I’ve seen since becoming a demon contractor confirms it. But now I’m hunting the mythic who killed my parents—with my demon’s help. I’ve stumbled into an insidious web that silently, secretly ensnares everything it touches. My demon and I came as the hunters…but I think we might be the prey.
As a former con-artist, I love a convoluted, mind-bending scheme as much as the next guy. But as a recently promoted MagiPol agent, I love it significantly less than that guy. Especially when the life of a kidnapped teen hangs in the balance.
Everyone wants me to shut up and follow orders, but that’s not my style. I’ll do whatever it takes to save this kid—even if that means returning to my roguish roots.
I thought I was a good judge of character, but recent events proved me very wrong. Now, in a brilliant demonstration of my newfound caution, I’m putting all my faith in a demon—a demon who’s tried to kill me before. Ezra’s time is almost up, which means I need answers and I need them fast. So it’s time to toughen up, pack my gear, and find me one of the most illegal, reviled, and scarce mythics out there: a demon-mage summoner. And all I have to do is follow a demon’s instructions on where to look. How could that go wrong?
I’m a pseudo mythic with the best bartending job in the world, the most amazing (and hot) best friends I never knew I needed, and a guild of misfit magic-users who’ve become my extended family. And I’m about to lose it all. In my desperation to save Ezra, I stumbled into a web of ruthless deception—and seriously pissed off a sleeping hydra. Now its every murderous head is turned toward me and my guild, and I don’t know how to stop it. I’m not sure I can. I’m not sure anyone can. But if we don’t, we’re all doomed—Ezra, Aaron, Kai, and my beloved guild.
I promised to avenge my parents, but their killer is still on the loose, and he’s stolen more than my parents’ lives. I promised to translate an ancient grimoire. But it holds the secrets of my family—and the secret history of demon summoning. Who was the foremother of Demonica…and who am I? I promised to send my demon home. But the way he watches me, the way he protects me, the way he touches me—how can I cast him away forever? But I promised—and I will keep my promises even if they cost me my heart, my soul, and my life.
As a conman-turned-MPD-Agent, I’m fairly new to the whole “upholder of justice” thing, but even for me, there are some lines you just don’t cross. Agent Söze of the MPD’s Internal Affairs department, on other hand, seems determined to slime his way across every ethical line in existence like an over-sized eel on a power trip. While he’s dismantling the precinct and hunting down rule-beakers among the staff, I’ve got bigger problems to tackle. That is, until a certain notorious rogue druid calls me up about that big IOU I accidentally promised him. Now I have no choice but to dive into the chaos.
Agent Söze, the treacherous Internal Affairs tyrant who’s taken over my precinct, is trying to cover up the death of a respected Guild Master—and that’s all the reason I need to make solving this case my top priority.
With the clock ticking, Lienna and I have to find rock-solid evidence that Agent Söze is behind the murder. Which is kind of tricky when crooked agents, shady allies, and cutthroat assassins keep complicating matters. And if we don’t get to the bottom of it fast, I’ll be the next unexplained corpse swept under the corruption rug.
Saber wants nothing more than to serve out her parole in peace, but the Crystal Druid has other plans.
Everyone is keeping secrets. Zak won’t reveal what really happened between us ten years ago. Ríkr’s been hiding so much I scarcely recognize him anymore. But the biggest secret belongs to my parents, and it’s the one I’m most desperate to unravel. The questions keep piling up, but as I realize too late, my parents’ killer is no mystery. He’s been lying in wait all along. But not for me. I’ve led Zak and Ríkr into a hell with no escape, and I need more than answers now. I need power—because without it, none of us will make it out alive.
Powerful fae are going missing, and when Zak tried to investigate, Lallakai vanished too. Now he wants me to venture with him into the territory of the Shadow Court, but its bloodthirsty courtiers don’t welcome meddling druids. Danger is gathering around us, seen and unseen. As we uncover incomprehensible clues about the missing fae, we realize this nightmare runs deeper than we imagined, and unveiling it means delving into the past—our past. If I abandon Zak now, he’ll never make it out alive. But if I stay at his side, if I face the truth of that night, it will destroy us both.
Ten years ago, everything that mattered to me was torn away—and I let it happen. But this time, I’m not a scared teen or a helpless witch. I’ll claw back everything and everyone I love, no matter the cost.
I am the Bladesong Druid, and I won’t stop. I won’t relent. I won’t break.
The weirdness level of my life has reached an all-time high. Lately, I’ve been Captain Blythe’s right-hand man and most trusted confidant. Yeah, I know. Super weird. It’s also kind of awkward, because unbeknownst to her, I’ve also teamed up with her most loathed nemesis, Darius King.
Oh, and the Consilium? It’s just a secret organization embedded deep in the upper echelons of the MPD that’s using its nefarious influence to take over the world. Or destroy it. We’re still figuring that part out.
“We” being me and Blythe. And me and Darius. But not Blythe and Darius. Like I said, it’s awkward.
