A Royal Brew - Alyn Troy

. .

Résumé :
A royal summons. A murdered minister. And a palace where one wrong move could doom more than just the crown. When the Queen of the Fae invites me to the royal palace to witness her daughter being named heir, I don't hesitate. This is history in the making--and my first chance to officially meet my aunt, the fae queen. Elain comes with me, of course. Unfortunately, so does Punkin. Bringing a coffee-bean-obsessed, chaos-prone familiar into the heart of fae power is risky on a good day. Add court politics, priceless gowns, and ancient grudges, and I'm basically tempting fate in formalwear. Then we find the body. The Queen's Minister of Faerocks lies broken below the ministry balcony, his death written off as a tragic fall far too quickly for my liking. And when one of the prime suspects turns out to be a special visitor from St. Maurice, California-- or someone with very personal ties to Punkin's past--the situation goes from uncomfortable to explosive. As Elain and I dig deeper, it becomes clear this isn't just murder. Someone is testing the palace. Probing its defenses. And what starts as an investigation turns into a desperate race to uncover a plot that could shatter the fae court and unleash chaos far beyond the palace walls. Between dodging an overzealous minister determined to improve my royal etiquette, navigating dangerous alliances, and dealing with a handsome stranger who may or may not be part of the problem, I'm quickly running out of time. Because when the truth finally comes to light, it sparks a battle royale within the palace itself--one that will decide not just the future of the crown, but the safety of the magical and mundane worlds alike. And if we fail? There won't be a palace left to protect. A Royal Brew is Book Ten in the Mystic Brews Mysteries, a paranormal cozy mystery series that blends royal intrigue, lethal magic, snarky humor, and high-stakes Urban Fantasy action--perfect for readers who like their cozy mysteries served with power struggles, dangerous secrets, and a familiar who absolutely should not be left unattended....
