Book blurb:
Remembering the dead will always give them life.
The coveted Morrígan’s staff is up for sale on the black market to the highest bidder, and SOA Special Agent Patrick Collins will do whatever it takes to ensure the Dominion Sect doesn’t get their hands on it. Returning the weapon to its rightful owner is another step on the long road toward clearing Patrick’s soul debt, but he won’t walk it alone. Jonothon de Vere won’t let him.
Obeying the gods means Patrick must travel to London. For Jono, it means facing a past he thought he’d left behind forever. His return to England isn’t welcome, and neither is their pack, but Jono and Patrick will face the antagonism together. Politics aside, their priority must be the mission, but the bone-chilling secret they uncover in the London god pack will have far-reaching repercussions no one can ignore.
A race against time takes Patrick and Jono from the streets of London to the bright lights of Paris, where hospitality is thin on the ground, the air is filled with whispered prayers for the missing, and the Morrígan’s staff will end up in the one place it should never have gone—a graveyard.
For beneath Paris lie the long-forgotten dead, and when they rise to walk again, the living can only hope to die.
On the Wings of War is a 109k word m/m urban fantasy with a gay romantic subplot and a HFN ending. It is a direct sequel to A Vigil in the Mourning. Reading the first book in the series would be helpful in enjoying this one.
About On the Wings of War by Hailey Turner: This is an exciting sequel that builds on the series plot and makes readers keep wanting more!
Jono looked up when Wade Espinoza came barreling through the front door, arms laden down with plastic shopping bags nearly overflowing with snacks. The nineteen-year-old fledgling fire dragon hopped on one foot while trying to keep his balance as he kicked the door shut behind him.
“Am I late?” Wade wanted to know.
“Did you clean out a bodega?” Jono asked.
Wade sniffed haughtily as he came over to where everyone lounged in the living room of the apartment Marek and his fiancée, Sage Beacot, called home. “’Course not. I left the vegetables.”
“Just for that, we’re making you eat double portions of vegetables tonight,” Patrick said, not looking up from his mobile.
Wade flopped down onto an empty armchair and immediately started digging into his bags. “Gross. I’m allergic to vegetables.”
“You’re allergic to actual food, mate,” Jono said, raising an eyebrow at the candy bars and bags of crisps spilling into his lap.
Wade ignored them both, sorting through his hoard of snacks with a happy look on his face. Jono opted not to argue about the merits of real food over processed junk food and looked over at Sage. Their pack’s dire was furiously tapping away on her laptop, a slight frown marring her pretty face. Her thick black hair was pulled back in a chignon to get most of it off her neck in the hot weather, and she hadn’t bothered to change out of the pantsuit she’d gone to work in. She had kicked off her high heels though, and the Louboutins were tucked under the coffee table.
“Okay, I’ve emailed Tiarnán about needing time off. I don’t think it will be a problem,” Sage said.
She set her laptop on the coffee table, her diamond engagement ring catching the light. Sage was a partner at Gentry & Thyme, a fae-owned and -run law firm whose managing partner was their contact for the Seelie Court. Tiarnán had helped broker their alliance with the fae and followed through whenever they needed assistance. Jono was always uncomfortably aware at how easy it would be to owe the fae beyond the terms of their alliance, so they tended to let Sage do the talking.
Their dire could play word games as well as any fae, but it was her steely resolve and calmness in the face of adversity that made Sage the rock he and Patrick leaned on every day. Luckily, Tiarnán knew what was at stake, and his firm was more than willing to cover Sage’s cases when she needed to be with them.
“We had cake tasting planned for this weekend,” Marek said with a mournful sigh from where he lounged beside Sage on the smaller sofa.
Wade’s head snapped up. “Cake?”
“Wedding cake decision, and no, you don’t get to come,” Sage told him.
“But Sage, it’s cake.”
“You have enough Twinkies in your bags that you basically have a full cake,” Leon Hernandez said as he came back from the kitchen with a beer.
Wade looked Leon dead in the eye while digging out a packet of Twinkies and opening it slowly. He shoved the entire snack into his mouth and chewed with bulging cheeks. “Doesn’t taste like wedding cake.”
