In Shining Armor

This fairy godmother’s got claws. The fourth novel in the Pax Arcana series gives a new twist to the Prince Charming tale.

When someone kidnaps the last surviving descendant of the Grandmaster of the Knights Templar, it’s bad news. When the baby is the key to the tenuous alliance between a large werewolf pack and the knights, it’s even worse news. They’re at each other’s throats before they’ve even begun to look for baby Constance.

But whoever kidnapped Constance didn’t count on one thing: she’s also the goddaughter of John Charming. Modern-day descendant of a long line of famous dragon slayers, witch finders, and wrong righters. John may not have any experience being a parent, but someone is about to find out that he can be one mean mother . . .

Praise for Elliott James and his Pax Arcana series

“The Pax Arcana books are seriously good reads. Action, humor, and heart with unexpected twists and turns.” —Patricia Briggs, #1 New York Times-bestselling author 

“[A] gritty, believable world . . . This is masculine urban fantasy in the vein of Jim Butcher and Mark del Franco.” —Booklist 

“A brilliant new voice in urban fantasy. Elliott James tells stories that are action-packed, often amusing, and always entertaining.” —Kevin Hearne, New York Times-bestselling author

“A self-deprecating, wisecracking, and honorable-to-a-fault hero who can stand up to such established protagonists as Jim Butcher’s Harry Dresden and Seanen McGuire’s October Daye. Combining action and romance—with an emphasis on action—this is a top-notch new series opener for lovers of urban fantasy.” —Library Journal (starred review)
