Stealing Summer

Summer Donovan-Quinn has lived most of her life as a mortal, though she began as a child of pure magic. She never knew the family she was born to, and the night she came into being was the only time she shared with them. In that short window she pushed her strength into her father and gave him the will to keep going. Her magic once did terrible damage, so she has vowed it will never happen again. She now spends her days with her friends, helping people where she can, and when that calls for a little stealing, she is her mother's daughter.

Everything shifts when a woman tumbles out of the sky and Summer meets Marcus Vorenus, a vampire. Kelsey Owens had gone looking for Dev and Marcus and instead walked into a trap that dragged her through a magical painting into a battle on another plane of existence. She can hold her own in a fight. She rescues a woman hunted by a pack of brutal soldiers and is startled to find the woman looks just like her queen. While Kelsey tries to uncover the secrets around Summer, she also searches for a route home to the husbands and son she has only just found.

Zoey Donovan-Quinn, a queen who has been exiled, is far from content. The wizard Myrddin has returned, her marriage is strained, and she suspects the two troubles are linked. Still, nothing worries her more than Dev vanishing without warning. When she and Daniel set out to find him, they are pulled into a realm once believed lost to Earth. Danger waits for them there, along with the daughter they never expected to see again, and Zoey hopes they all survive the reunion.

This is an epic-length novel in the Thieves/Hunter world that follows three heroines through one mystery, with a closing turn that reshapes the Thieves world.
