I know I took two weeks off of posting this but as I started to post Chapter 12 I realized that something else needed to be taken care of in the story, so the Chapter 12 that was actually became Chapter 14 and then I had to write a new chapter 12 and 13 to make the story work. Nothing like finding unexpected gaps in the story line at the last second, right?

But hopefully we are back on track for the weekly posting. sorry for the momentary lapse. And now our story continues…

Protected from the rest of the world by magic and secrecy is a place called The Borderlands. Within this area there is a collection of towns, villages and farmsteads occupied by humans with magic, glamour covered fay, and those with decidedly mixed heritage linking them to both the humans and the fae. It is a world that Danny thought he left behind when he left Barrowville, the largest town in the Borderlands.   He never planned to return and made his life in the human world pretending he was just as ignorant as those around him about the existence of the Borderlands. He became a police officer and worked his way up to detective.  He is happy with his life and rarely give Barrowville or the Borderlands a thought.  When they did cross his mind he hoped they forgot about him as deeply as he forgot about them.

But a string of murders has left Barrowville in an uproar and the local sheriff at a loss.  Danny isn’t as forgotten as he hoped and when the sheriff calls for assistance, those in power order Danny to take a special assignment.  Refusal is not an option and Danny has to return to the world he left behind, tracking a murderer and confronting the difficult past that caused him to leave before more deaths occur.
