But now, she's escaped Advent 9's grasp—and she intends to keep her freedom. Using the only two things that Advent 9 couldn't take away: her unrelenting stubbornness and the kind of attitude that can make a grown man cry.

Liam Crown had it all once upon a time.
A star detective with a penchant for "magic tricks," Liam's life fell to pieces when an accident cost him his family—and his sobriety. Now he scrapes by with a PI license and spends most of his free time with a bottle in his hand.
But when a chance encounter with a strange woman makes him the target of a violent underground organization, Liam gets dragged out of his stagnant life and back into the danger zone he thought he'd left forever.
As the stakes begin to mount, Liam realizes that his old self is slowly coming back to life in the face of battle. Now all he has to do is survive the war.
Lock and Key is the first book in the action-packed King and Crown urban fantasy series.
Clara Coulson was born and raised in backwoods Virginia, USA. She holds a degree in English and Finance from the College of William & Mary and recently retired from the hustle and bustle of Washington, DC to return to the homeland and pick up the quiet writing life.
Clara spends most of her time (when she's not writing) dreaming up new story ideas, studying Japanese, and slowly reading through the several-hundred-book backlog on her budding home library. If she's not occupied with any of those things, then you can probably find her playing with her two cats or lurking in the shadows of various social media websites.
