The Fae Tales Verse Series by Pia Foxhall

His lover and Advisor, waterhorse Augus Each Uisge, is unloved by many, fielding multiple assassination attempts. Drifting away from each other as life threatens to completely fracture the tenuous connection they have, they must both find allies and a way to survive in a world of fae fraught with chaos. While officially the sequel to Game Theory, this has hopefully been written in a way to allow newcomers entry into the Fae Tales Verse with minimal pre-reading necessary. Cover art: Anna Sikorska.
