Promises to Keep — Laura Anne Gilman

The person you pass on the street…may not be human.

They are known as the fatae, the various non-human species that make up the Cosa Nostradamus, the magic-using community. And they could be your neighbors, your teachers, your fellow commuters. Your local PI.

Meet Danny Hendrickson: Mother, human. Father…not.


For the most part, Danny's made his own way, straddling the line between human and supernatural in his job the way he does in his life

A man going missing isn't -- normally -- a troubling case. Even when he disappears off a rooftop. But Danny's new -- and magical -- partner sees something more in the scenario…and what she sees is deadly. To the client -- and to them.
