The Call of Corvids: Bear Crawford, Book 1 (Crawford Investigations)

Bjorn “the Bear” Crawford has made some poor life choices. He wanted to prove he could make it on his own by doing things his way. Instead, he's distanced himself from his family, including his twin, Raven, and he’s now so entangled with the seedy underbelly of the Mortal Realm, only a serious haul of cash will get him out.When he takes a job to steal a magical item for a dark fae lord, he soon learns he’s taken one bad job too many. Nothing is ever what it seems with the fae and this "item" will either prove to be his downfall or his salvation. Bear thought he’d finally found the way out of his life of crime, but has he signed his own death warrant instead?Please note: This is a Raven Crawford companion piece featuring Bear Crawford as the main protagonist.
