He shows up amid the mess to tell Catalina he’s there to destroy Arkan, and he expects her to fully comply with whatever agenda he hands her. It doesn’t help that her fiancé, Alessandro Sagredo – who is currently in a silent and deadly conflict with the Arkan agency – winds up proposing to her over the corpse of one of that corrupt entity’s agents.Ĭomplicating the issue is Konstantin Leonidovich Berezin of Blood Imperial, an illusion mage and Russian prince. That makes Catalina Baylor, Deputy Warden, responsible for cleaning up the mess and making sure justice is done – and she has absolutely no idea how she’s going to pull that off. The Warden of Texas, Linus Duncan, the man typically in charge of investigating such crimes, has been assaulted and is in a coma. Arkan, an extremely successful mercenary guild, has placed a base in the area, and given how the Speaker was killed, they are likely responsible. The Speaker of the Texas State Assembly, the political body that governs the influential magical houses of the state, has been murdered in the city. Ruby Fever is not a stand-alone story, and readers are advised to begin with Burn for Me, which introduces the saga and the magical world it takes place in. This is book six of the series, and my review necessarily contains spoilers for those that come before.

Ruby Fever has all the trademark snark, adrenaline-fueled action and humor these novels are known and loved for.

The Baylors are back in the latest Hidden Legacyvolume from the Ilona Andrews writing duo.
