Eminent Domain: a River’s End Novel
Dylan Rose
Silas Vance packed his best worsted wool suit and a silver-plated Glock.
He was prepared to argue property law in the supernatural courts of Kentucky. He wasn't prepared to be framed for the assassination of the territory's ruling Steward.
The Aethelgard Council has summoned Silas and his ancient kinetic vampire, Elias, to the Velvet Vein Hotel for a "routine" audit. But the audit is a lie. The stakes are absolute: win the legal appeal, or forfeit the River's End estate.
If they lose the land, Elias loses his sanctuary and will be executed as a rogue anomaly in the street.
Now, trapped in a gothic hotel locked down by five hundred apex predators, Silas and Elias have exactly forty-eight hours to find the real puppet master. With Elias’s kinetic magic burning dangerously close to the feral edge, Silas must open the Anchor conduit wider than ever before to keep them both alive.
Surviving the audit requires out-litigating monsters who wrote the laws three centuries ago. Winning requires dragging a mummified king to the witness stand.
Court is officially in session.
