YA
Devlin, the Fairy High Queen's brother/assassin, and Ani, the half-mortal hellhound, are both suffering the burden of strength coupled with disenfranchisement. Devlin's disobedience allows for Ani's existence but also results in mortal danger, particularly when the two become romantically involved. The book's crisis, romance, and solution are all eminently entertaining.
