The Demon's Prison

Book excerpt: Earth and Faerie are at war. Kind of. Possibly a cold war, except in the vicinity of Aelik, where it’s often too exciting for comfort. When an increase in odd, and horrific, incidents on Earth suggests the enemy have weaponised stories in their campaign to Make Faerie Fearsome Again, Aelik must navigate the toxic waters of political intrigue in search of a way to end the cold war, and prevent a civil war in Faerie. At least espionage stories limit the casualties. War stories try to drag everyone in. Then it threatens to detour into horror, and in horror, the story always wins. Trapped in everyone else’s stories, Aelik must choose what type of story he wants to be. Ideally, one he can live with. Book 3 of the Border Guards trilogy
