But when incompetent movers crack open a basement wall, prosecutor Valerie Burke uncovers a secret that turns her quiet legal career upside down. Hidden beneath the old courthouse lies the Shadow Court-a supernatural judicial system where vampires, fae, demons, and spirits settle their disputes in the human world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore she can process what she's seeing, Valerie is appointed as the court's new human judge, a position that's been vacant for thirty years. Her bailiff? Kieran-a fallen angel whose dark eyes hold centuries of secrets and whose job is to carry out whatever sentences she delivers, no matter how harsh.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs Valerie navigates supernatural law and otherworldly politics, she discovers that every ruling has consequences beyond anything she learned in law school. The Seelie Court wants to use her for their own agenda. Infernal demons offer tempting bargains wrapped in legal loopholes. And the mysterious factions watching her every move seem to know more about her appointment than she does.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut it's Kieran who proves the most dangerous distraction. Bound by ancient oaths to enforce her will, he's forbidden from influencing her decisions-yet their growing attraction threatens to compromise everything.
