The Other Side of Life (Elves, Urban Fantasy, Cyberpunk Elven Trilogy, Book 1) 


A thieving duo’s world turns upside down when an Elven rogue uncovers the heinous dealings of a mega corporation. Anya and Leticia are partners-in-crime who steal for a living. Their world turns upside down after a chance encounter with fellow rogue, Ithilnin—the enigmatic leader of an Elven band of thieves. A scuffle to prove who’s “the better thief” transforms into more than Anya and Ithilnin ever bargained for. They retrieve the missing piece of an ancient poem, before getting caught in the secret dealings of a mega corporation. What they uncover threatens to alter
the very essence of not just human life, but the other side as well. Elven intrigue, cyberpunk action, and a deadly dose of danger come together in The Other Side of Life [Book #1 in the (Cyberpunk) Elven Trilogy].
