An irresistible compilation of five previously published stories by the

NYT bestselling author of the Kate Daniels series; including Kate’s very

first meeting with Saiman, some related adventures, two unforgettable

“outside” excursions, and additional material from both Curran and Jim’s

point of view.

A QUESTIONABLE CLIENT

In this ‘intro’ to the Kate Daniels world, we meet the extremely ‘shifty’

Saiman for the very first time, when Kate takes on the task of serving as

his bodyguard to protect him from some very determined—and dangerous—Russian

wizards.

RETRIBUTION CLAUSE

Saiman’s cousin, Adam—a frost giant and also an insurance

adjuster—and his enigmatic partner, Siroun, set out on an impossible mission

to enforce a client’s Retribution Clause; that is, to kill the person who

killed her. But is their target even guilty? Magic and mayhem and a little

personal chemistry will reveal the truth!

OF SWINE AND ROSES

A young adult story about a girl, a pig, some magic, and the worst date

ever.

Chad Thurman is a thug, who carries brass knuckles in both pockets and lays

magic traps for intruders into "his" neighborhood. The last thing Alena

Kornov wants to do is to go on a date with him. But when her family

pressures her, she can't say no. Now the ice-cream is absent, the pig is

running for its life, and we won't even mention the dead guy...

GRACE OF SMALL MAGICS

Grace has always known she wasn’t like everyone else and that her family has

magic abilities. After flying to meet the head of Clan Dreoch in order to

fulfill her families’ “duties” as servants, Grace finds herself in the

middle of a mage clan war…

MAGIC TESTS

A short story in the Kate Daniels universe. Kate recruits her teenage ward,

Julie, to search out a missing student whose location spell has her hidden

somewhere on campus…

CURRAN POV

Everybody has a point of view…especially Curran Lennart, Beast Lord of the

Free People of Atlanta—and Kate Daniel’s mate. Here’s what Curran was

thinking while Kate was kicking butt and taking names from

Magic Bites

to Magic Bleeds.
