Book synopsis:
Never promise a life that isn’t yours to give.
New York City is decked out for the holidays, and Special Agent Patrick Collins is looking forward to a reunion with his old team when he gets assigned a new case. A human child is missing, and the changeling left in her place causes a prominent witch family to demand justice from the fae.
Meanwhile, continued harassment from the New York City god pack forces Jonothon de Vere to formally establish his own with Patrick. Doing so will mean a civil war within the werecreature community—a war they risk losing from the start without alliances. Making bargains with the fae is never wise, but Patrick and Jono have nothing to lose when a fae lord comes asking for their help.
The Summer Lady has been kidnapped from the Seelie Court, and if they can find her, Patrick and Jono will cement an alliance with the fae. But the clues to her disappearance are found in Tír na nÓg, and the Otherworld has never been kind to mortals.
Venturing past the veil, Patrick and Jono risk losing territory, time, and their very lives while searching for answers. Because the Queen of Air and Darkness knows they are coming—and the ruler of the Unseelie Court has an offer for them they can’t possibly refuse.
A Crown of Iron & Silver is a 107k word m/m urban fantasy with a gay romantic subplot and a HFN ending. It is a direct sequel to All Souls Near & Nigh. Reading the prior books in the series would be helpful in enjoying this one.

“Only me and Gerard could make it up. All the rest of the guys are taking a few days with their families before they come out to meet us.”
Patrick arched an eyebrow at that little update, looking over Keith’s shoulder at his old team captain. “By all, does Chatterbox mean Arthur and Darren, or your entire current team?”
Captain Gerard Breckenridge held up a white box with a sticker slapped on top that said Sin & Cakes in cursive script. “Entire current team. Figured I’d break that news to you with a care package.”
Patrick elbowed Keith out of the way. “Are those from Sienna?”
“My girl flew out to meet us in DC. Apparently, she’s got a baker friend who let her make a batch of Gold Rush cookies in their bakery. She said you had to share,” Keith told him.
“Fuck you, she said no such thing.” Patrick took the offered box with quick hands. “Thanks, Smooth Dog.”
Gerard drew him into a hard hug, careful of the box of cookies baked with West Coast love. “You’re a civilian now. Thought you’d forget about that name.”
“Not even when I’m dead.”
Patrick drew back, taking in his former captain. The half-fae officer looked mostly human if one ignored the gently tapered points of his ears peeking out from light brown hair and his otherworldly silver eyes. Gerard was the kind of handsome people always looked twice at, and then again for good measure. He was a beautiful man who could command a room simply by stepping inside it, and who had commanded their team with an iron will Patrick had been more than willing to be bound by when part of the Hellraisers.
“Your hair isn’t regulation,” Patrick mused. “Leave get granted that quick?”
“Something like that.”
“Let’s talk about it inside.” Patrick deftly smacked Keith’s hand away from the cookie box. “I will stab you with my dagger if you even try to eat one. You’re married to Sienna. You can get cookies whenever you want.”
“Bullshit. I can’t get cookies in the field,” Keith shot back.
“Inside,” Gerard ordered firmly. “I need a beer that doesn’t taste like piss water.”
Keith elbowed Patrick in the ribs. “He’s been in a mood since he took a satphone call a week and a half ago.”
Patrick frowned as he shoved open the restaurant door. “You called me a week and a half ago about this visit.”
Gerard grimaced. “Yeah. Beer first. Then we’ll talk.”
