What Fate Portends (The Frost Arcana #1)
What Fate Portends (The Frost Arcana #1) | Clara Coulson
2 posts | 1 read | 3 to read
"Faeries liked to tease the weak, but they loved to annihilate the strong." Seven years ago, the exposure of the paranormal led to the tumultuous downfall of human society. Now, the legions of the fae rule the broken world, and humanity has nothing left but a handful of protected cities and a heaping helping of regret. Enter Vincent Whelan. Half fae and former cop, he's become the best-known stretch scavenger in Kinsale, North Carolina, braving the "stretches" outside his city to recover precious items lost in the collapse. He makes good money. Lives the good life. Has a good future in store. As long as he can ignore his traumatic memories of the past. But when a new job with an odd twist blows onto his doorstep, Vince finds himself unwittingly drawn into a vast conspiracy lurking underneath Kinsale's thin veneer of civilization. Old friends suddenly return to haunt him. New enemies appear at every turn. And Vince fears he isn't prepared to confront either one. But if he doesn't put his detective hat back on and solve this case on a tight deadline, then what's left of the city he calls home might just crumble to dust. What Fate Portends is the first novel of The Frost Arcana, an action-packed urban fantasy series set in a post-apocalyptic world.

Absolutely loved this. I finished and immediately downloaded the second book. Great characters, strong world-building, some intense action sequences, and neat magic. Highly recommended to fans of Ilona Andrews, Helen Harper, Lisa Shearin, Jolene Dawe, and CS MacCath.

As usual I am in the middle of three books. One is What Fate Portends, the first in a new post-apocalyptic urban fantasy series. Basically, a war in Fae spilled over into the mortal realm, and the result was a complete societal collapse. The main character is a half-fae ex-cop who gets caught up in something very very bad .... so, of course, he has to save what is left of the world ....
