Description:
LAWS ARE FOR THE LAW-ABIDING
New Yorker Margrit Knight is no longer just a lawyer: she is the Negotiator, a critical bridge between the human world and the volatile, dangerous world of the Old Races, made up of five ancient peoples who have lived alongside humanity in secret for eternity. She has earned a place of respect among them, a difficult task even for other immortals.
But in defending one of their own, Margrit has also ignited a war among the factions. With her beloved gargoyle partner, Alban, in chains, Margrit's only allies are a bitter dragonlord, a vampire certain of his superiority, and a mortal detective who is only just beginning to discover the world Margrit has chosen.
As ghosts and gargoyles face off within the ranks of the Old Races, Margrit must find a way to negotiate peace amongst people who want the fight without sacrificing Alban. Her own safety is of less concern to her, but in the end, her choices will cost her everything.
