Keeper of the Way by Shirin Dubbin
Shirin Dubbin brings so many fantasy creatures to life in this short novella. Pixie's, mixed creatures, and even D'fly bikes. While the story is very fast paced and so impeccably detailed, I found that it would be much easier to follow if there was a description guide of some of the words used. Her world is painted with many colors, a work of art, and it was a nice change of pace for me to read.
Nia'Mora is an Amaranthine elf, and her job in the mortal world is to be an aftermath cleaner of crime scenes before the police arrive on scene. She wears sunglasses to protect her eyes from her bond-mate. She feels she is just not ready to be bonded to another, so she hides behind the glasses. But there is one man or actually two men that she can not hide from for very long. Severin and Zan both seem to have the hots for her, but only one man will be her bond-mate... on the night she is to die.
Severin is a unique mix of lion and unicorn, his appearance could mean the birth of a sage, or immanent death. The night he meets Nia'Mora at the birthing, he is there because she is going to die. But once her glasses are removed and they're bonded, he will do whatever it takes to get her assassin. He sees something going on between Zan and Nia'Mora, he doesn't know that she sees him as an enemy but can't keep herself away. Zan holds a power within himself that needs to be freed back to the Fae and other fantasy peoples; he is imprisoning... The Way.
