Hawk and Fisher, captains of the City Guard of Haven, are assigned to be bodyguards for a Reform candidate during an election campaign. Candidate James Adamant is beset from all sides by enemies - political, personal, and supernatural. Keeping him alive long enough to count the ballots could cost the lives of both Hawk and Fisher, in a deadly game where the winner takes all.
This is the fourth book in the Hawk and Fisher series. This one begins to show more of Hawk and Fisher's pre-Haven history. The story opens with Hawk and Fisher trailing a spy. But the spy gets away and holes up in a tower belonging to the Quality (the Aristocracy). The two guard captains must go undercover and pose as distant relatives in order to locate the spy. Unfortunately posing as a member of the Quality is punishable by death and headquarters will not back them up if they are found out. While trying not to blow their cover, the two infiltrate the tower where a new lord is taking command. Unfortunately a dead body turns up and everyone learns that there is an undying Freak locked up somewhere in the tower. Tensions rise and Hawk and Fisher have three tasks; try not to be discovered, find the spy, and try to stop the Freak before it kills everyone.
The battle-axe wielding Hawk and his partner, Fisher, who prefers sword and dagger, take on the dead that are suddenly stirring below the surface of the city of Haven. Original.
Haven is a dark city, the rotten apple of the Low Kingdoms, where anything can be bought, stolen or fought for. From the slums and squalor of the Devils Hook to High Tory, were the aristos and politicians double deal, murder and corruption flourish openly. Swords and sorcery clash every day in the mean and merciless magical city of Haven. Captains Hawk and Fisher, husband and wife, are the only honest cops in Havens City Guard. Together they take on everything from vampires and werewolves to locked-room murder mysteries, from conniving politicians to the enigmatic Beings on the Street of Gods.
Fifteen years after saving the Forest Kingdom from the travails of the Blue Moon, Hawk and Fisher, streetwise cops in the crime-ridden town of Haven, must take on their former identities as long-lost heroes, Prince Rupert and Princess Julia, to return to the Forest Kingdom, which is once again threatened by the Blue Moon.
