    About this ebook

    Falconer folk are a little strange… 

     
    Harley von Canmore, firebird and Chief of Police of Falconer, a tiny town in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies, struggles to reconcile her new life as one of the Old Races.  It's Christmas Eve and bitterly cold, yet Harley is setting fire to her bed while she sleeps, paper burns when she touches it, and no one needs a room heater when she's in it. 
     
    When a body is found at the base of Maze Peak lookout, Harley must put aside her personal issues and investigate. What the RCMP suspect is a simple accident grows complicated when she digs a little deeper… 
     
    The Orc Who Cried is part of the Harley Firebird urban fantasy series of novelettes, which is set in the same world as Taylen Carver's Magorian & Jones series.

    Praise for Taylen Carver's urban fantasy: 
     
    Plenty of exciting twists and turns. 
     
    Feel the tingling of danger, the aha's of escaping death, and the excitement of magic 
     
    I loved this and will continue on with the series. 
     
    A very satisfying first book for a new series 
     
    blends the paranormal and the thriller/suspense you expect in a who done it crime story 
     
    Love the heroine 
     
    The story is filled with many interesting characters, and I'm sure throughout the series we will learn more about them and their new Sheriff and I can't wait to read all about them.

      THE STORY SO FAR…

      Harley von Canmore is a firebird, one of the rarest of the Old Races. The Old Races are former humans who survived the Tutu virus, only to metamorphosed into other creatures. Goblyns, who are called orcs in North America, are the most common. There are also hobgoblins, dwarves, fae, angels, dryads, dragons, salamanders, sirens, avancs and water leapers, each aligned with one of the elements; Earth, Air, Fire and Water.

      The town of Falconer, in the foothills of the Canadian Rocky Mountains, had a population of just over 1,000 people, and every last person contracted the Tutu virus. Now the residents are becoming Old Ones, without official status in Canada and scrambling to survive. The town’s mayor, Akicita Frazier, hires Harley to police the town.

      Harley had a career as decorated RCMP officer before her change. She resents the loss of that career and is in denial about her new life as a firebird. She also serves two masters; the law, which she has sworn to uphold, and Campbell von Havre, a dragon elemental to whom firebirds are subject. Her cop instincts tell her Campbell is not the simple businessman he appears to be, but he does seem to put the good of Falconer first.
