The Shepherd of Fire - Harley Firebird, #3

Harley knows Campbell von Havre is hiding something she won't like.  Harley von Canmore is a firebird, one of the old races who are emerging across the globe.  She is also the Police Chief of the tiny town of Falconer, in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies.  Harley's town is nearly all old race people, which creates challenges that she never faced as a Royal Canadian Mounted Police Officer.  That includes dealing with Campbell von Havre, who works tirelessly to support the townsfolk.  He is a dragon, and her element's superior to whom she, as a firebird, must obey.  When the grandson of the town's doyen, Moira Falconer, is found in a hot tub and Campbell is connected to the death, Harley investigates the mystery surrounding Campbell.  But not everyone in Falconer wants Harley digging that deep and the reaction to her investigation is violent.  The Shepherd of Fire is part of the Harley Firebird urban fantasy series of novelettes, which is set in the same world as Taylen Carver's Magorian & Jones series.  1.0: The Dragon of Falconer 2.0: The Orc Who Cried 3.0: The Shepherd of Fire .and more to come.  Urban Fantasy Novelette ___  Praise for Taylen Carver's urban fantasy:  Plenty of exciting twists and turns.  Feel the tingling of danger, the aha's of escaping death, and the excitement of magic  I loved this and will continue on with the series.  A very satisfying first book for a new series  blends the paranormal and the thriller/suspense you expect in a who done it crime story  Love the heroine  The story is filled with many interesting characters, and I'm sure throughout the series we will learn more about them and their new Sheriff and I can't wait to read all about them. ___  Canadian author Taylen Carver writes edgy urban fantasy, doesn't pull punches, and would rather be writing unless otherwise notified.  When not writing, Taylen can usually be found inside speculative fiction of other authors.  Favourites include Jim Butcher, Charlaine Harris, Kevin Hearne, Laurell K.
Hamilton, and Emma Bull.
