The Vancouver Magical Folk Quests #2
Compulsion
In the land of the blind...
Quinn Larson kept the Real Folk hidden, but the cost was more than any man should bear. The ex-fairy queen Fionuir has been exiled, but not before her magics disabled him. And Cate - the friend who he hoped would become something more - is dead, the victim of a demon whose origin remains a mystery.
Now, he has to contend with losing his sight and gaining an apprentice, while the Sidhe still weave their twisted schemes. Lionel once studied under Cate, and he wants revenge just as much as Quinn does.
But there are bigger events happening that demand his attention, and there are other people who need his help. Someone is stealing the babies and treasure of the fae for some sinister purpose. The ancient Druids have awoken, with an unknown agenda and lot of magical power at their command. The demon that killed Cate may have been summoned by a group of clueless Goth teenagers, who could hurt themselves as much as anyone else. Once again, it falls to Quinn to find the solution to every problem, and prevent a meltdown among the magical races.
One inescapable fact remains, however.
If a wizard would fight, he must be able to see.

Perry Wilson is a Canadian author based in Vancouver, BC who has big ideas and an itch to tell stories. Having spent some time on university, a career, and life in general, she returned to writing three years ago and hasn't looked back since (well, maybe a little, but only while parallel parking).
She is a member of the Vancouver Independent Writers Group, and has self-published several novels. The second book of the Charity Deacon series, Greed, is due out in the fall 2012. (A French vacation pulls Charity and her best friend into the shady world of gun smugglers and missing people.)
She also writes the Quinn Larson Quests, which follows the adventures of a wizard named Quinn who must contend with volatile fae in the heart of Vancouver, and the Madeline Journeys, a fantasy series about a high-powered lawyer who finds herself trapped in a magical world.

After stopping the Sidhe attempt at getting more power for Fionuir to keep the throne, Quinn is recovering from losing his sight and the possible love of his life, Cate.
Taking over Cate’s apprentice, Lionel, who is assiting with Quinn’s blindness as well as learning, things are sort of normal.
When he is approached by the fairies because someone is stealing their treasure (and babies), as well dealing with the Druids who want their medallion back and still trying to figure out who summoned the demon that killed Cate, life gets interesting again.
This book has some action, mystery, suspense, surprises and humour. There is a lot of difficulties that Quinn has to deal with now that he’s blind. Lionel is strong but undisciplined.
I won’t say that this is an easy read but it goes pretty smoothly. It definitely has a couple of darker aspects. There are a few questions that need to be answered, hopefully in the next book but then I’m sure there will be more to come.
Again, I got a lot of enjoyment from the fact it’s set in Vancouver.
