But when both the fracturing worlds and Clint’s bride-to-be are thrust into peril by an old foe, the gunslinger must come out of retirement and aim his seven-shooters at the dark magic and those who bring it. An epic quest hurls marshal and unicorn across the endless desert in pursuit of the dark rider Dharma Kold and his unicorn of a different color, where they must battle their way back toward The Realm to uncover the truth...and mayhap save the worlds that hang in the balance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you love hard-boiled detectives, dangerous fey, and cold cases that turn hot on a dime, then take this opportunity to introduce yourself to Peter M. Ball’s Miriam Aster stories. This omnibus collects the two books in Miriam Aster’s case files. HORN Award-winning author Peter M. Ball takes you into the world of exiled fey and dangerous magic in his cult novella Horn. Miriam Aster used to be a homicide cop, but a relationship with the queen of the fey and one too many off-the-books favours saw her drummed out of the force and pushed into private inquiry work. Now she’s burned out, barely coping, and all too happy to put her past behind her … until a late-night phone call pulls her in to consult in a recent murder. The victim is a young girl brutally murdered and infested with fey, and the killer is the one thing Aster knows should never be let loose on the mortal world. There’s a unicorn killing young women, and her former colleagues in the police department are ill-equipped to stop it. Unless Aster agrees to step back into the fey world, there’s going to be a lot more murders before things really hit the fan. BLEED Miriam Aster returns in a sequel to the cult hit Horn. Ten years ago, Miriam Aster agreed to kill three men in order to protect the secrets of the fey. It’s the greatest mistake of her life, and the reason she’s now a drunk PI instead of a homicide cop. As far as she’s concerned, the mistakes of her past stay in her past and the fey can go screw themselves. But when an old case comes back to haunt her and the spectres of the past loom in the shadows, Aster must join forces with a desperate stuntwoman and a talking cat to stop the half-breed sorcerer who needs Aster’s blood to exact revenge. Turns out there are worse things than committing murder…
