A gay erotic series by author J.L. O'Faolain.
 
Over two-hundred-sixty years ago, Tuulois [[Mac Colewyn]]MacColewyn was born of fire and ice, a wolf sidhe now exiled from Avalon and living in Manhattan, where, since the 1920s, he’s worked as everything from a mob enforcer to hired muscle taking odd jobs for and working with some of the city’s most mystical beings. These days, however, Cole's primary concern is paying his rent. Against his better judgment, he ends up accepting a job from Detective James Corhagen. A series of murder/kidnappings have plagued New York City as of late and the method points to black magic, even though [[Muggles|everyone knows]] [[Invisible to Normals|there's no such thing as magic]]. With Inspector Joss Vallimun, the trio form an alliance to [[They Fight Crime|fight against]] the rising amount of supernatural crime in the [[Big Applesauce|Big Apple]]. Along the way, [[EveryoneEverybody Has Lots of Sex]].
 
Part murder Whodunit, part [[Urban Fantasy]], part erotic fairy tale.
 
Thus far, two books in the series have been released:
* ''The Thirteenth Child''▼
 
* ''The Thirteenth Pillar''▼

=== '''This series contains examples of:'''' ===
* [[Bi the Way]]: In Faerie, same-sex relationships aren't considered unusual or against the norm. Breeding is the all-important factor and so long as a couple of opposite genders can reproduce, no one has a problem with them keeping a lover on the side. Infidelity is measured in keeping secrets from one's spouse or breaking pre-arranged agreements, not necessarily just by having sex with someone other than your spouse. Cole finds such hang-ups in the mortal realm to be bizarre even after living there for so long.
* [[Body Horror]]: These are not the cutesy fey that grant wishes and leave behind shoes.
Line 37 ⟶ 33:
* [[IKEA Erotica]]: So far, not so much.
* [[Invisible to Normals]]: No one in New York City notices that there are trolls, pixies, sidhe, and all other manner of creatures living alongside them right under their very noses. Even for New York, this seems a bit hard to take. [[Word of God]] says that its due to people no longer believing in them. Their minds either ignore it or make up some excuse
* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]: Inspector Vallimun. And again, Cole.
* [[Little Miss Badass]]: Robyn, hands down. She looks no older than twelve yet is armed to the teeth thanks to a [[Bag of Holding]] {{spoiler|made by her grandmother. She also wears a red hood over camo fatigues and can perform incredible acrobatics without batting an eye.}}
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Sort of an inversion. Cole has albino skin and silvery-white hair, yet his shortened name is Cole (Coal).
Line 57 ⟶ 53:
* [[The Omniscient Council of Vagueness]]: The {{spoiler|Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn}}. They haven't been around long enough to qualify as an [[Ancient Conspiracy]], but if this trope is played straight for the remainder of the series, you know this won't be the last we've seen of them!
* [[Soap Opera Rapid Aging Syndrome]]: {{spoiler|Whittaker goes through this}} as a result of bonding with a creature of angst.
* [[Suicide Byby Cop]]: {{spoiler|Whittaker's}} master plan turns out to be this.
* [[Wild Child]]: {{spoiler|Jynx}} has shades of this at first. She doesn't speak, leaving a Wood Goblin to fill in the blanks for people.
