The Contract

By Ursula T. Rye

Be careful what you agree to - some contracts bind more than blood.

When the daughter of a powerful executive vanishes without a trace, the Avalon Order Agency assigns Fifth Rank Detective Tom Marley to the case - along with his sharp-tongued Fey partner, Leel. But what begins as a routine search spirals into something far more dangerous: a chain of unsolved murders, a speculative market collapse, and a contract that binds tighter than any law.

In a world of glamour and high tech, where mages run the financial markets and CEOs happen to be monsters - quite literally - truth is a rare commodity and trust even rarer. Bound by duty and tangled in secrets, Tom and Leel must unravel a mystery buried beneath layers of lies, corporate oaths, and the invisible force of a geas - an ancient magical contract that compels obedience and punishes betrayal.

Set in a sleek world of veiled glamour, divine tech, and boardroom politics, The Contract is an urban fantasy steeped in mystery, laced with political intrigue, dry humour, and unexpected tenderness.
