Fringe Benefits Ash Fitzsimmons

Where do you run when the world unravels?Three months ago, Badger Parsons's life was under control. Her colleagues respected her as a police detective. Her personal life, if not exciting, was at least uneventful. And while she was only a witch like her father, dependent on a powerful wand to pull off even the simplest of spells, she'd become a regional coordinator for the Fringe, the worldwide confederation of witches and lesser fae: first in, last out, and a person to depend upon in times of trouble. Then came the Arcanum coup-and the slaughter. With her family murdered and her fellow Fringers dead, kidnapped, or in hiding, Badger's on the run for her life. Only speed and luck have kept her a step ahead of the Arcanum assassins hunting her down. Her trusty wand has cracked and grows weaker by the day. And then comes the desperate call from Seamus, her former fiancé, whose untamed power may have finally turned fatal. He needs Badger's help now more than ever, but the wizards on her trail won't hesitate to kill him, too. If they can locate a gate to Faerie and escape the mortal realm, they just might survive. But with the Fringe unraveled, someone has to evade the Arcanum and find the missing...and who's better suited for the job than a detective?
