About the Author.

Lisa Shearin is the New York Times bestselling author of the Raine Benares novels, a comedic fantasy adventure series, as well as the SPI Files novels, an urban fantasy series best described as Men in Black with supernaturals instead of aliens. Lisa is a voracious collector of fountain pens, teapots, and teacups, both vintage and modern. She lives on a small farm in North Carolina with her husband, four spoiled-rotten retired racing greyhounds, and enough deer and woodland creatures to fill a Disney movie.

Acknowledgments.

They say it takes a village to raise a child. Well, it takes a team to make a book. I wouldn't be able to do this without the simply amazing ladies at Nelson Literary Agency and NLA Digital: Kristin Nelson (my agent), Lori Bennett (production manager), and Angie Hodapp (interior design). Then there's the legendary Betsy Mitchell (my editor), the incomparable Martha Trachtenberg (my copy editor), the supremely talented Aleta Rafton (my cover artist), and the marvelous Logan Hyatt (my assistant).

I also needed help naming three of the dragons in this book. I received so many great suggestions. The winning name for the little firedrake on the cover was "Indigo" sent in by Kirsten Parriott. For two of the much larger sentry dragons: Scott Balliet thought of the name "Amaranth" and David Gray came through with "Mithryn." I can always count on my fans to come through with character names or book titles. You guys are awesome!

For my fans who have always wanted to read a book about Tam and Phaelan...ask and you shall receive. This one's for you.

Praise for Lisa Shearin.

"Once again, Ms. Shearin has given her readers a book that you don't want to put down. With Raine, the adventures never end."

-Ink and Paper "If you're new to Shearin's work, and you enjoy fantasy interspersed with an enticing romance, a little bit of humor, and a whole lot of grade-A action, this is the series for you."

-Lurv a la Mode.

The Trouble with Demons.

-Fresh Fiction.

"Lisa Shearin represents that much needed voice in fantasy that combines practiced craft and a wicked sense of humor."

-Night Owl Reviews.

Armed & Magical.

"Fresh, original, and fall- out-of- your-chair funny, Lisa Shearin's Armed & Magical combines deft characterization, snarky dialogue, and nonstop action-plus a yummy hint of romance-to create one of the best reads of the year. This book is a bona fide winner, the series a keeper, and Shearin a definite star on the rise."

-Linnea Sinclair, RITA Award-winning author of Rebels and Lovers "An exciting, catch-me-if-you-can, lightning-fast-paced tale of magic and evil filled with goblins, elves, mages, and a hint of love interest that will leave fantasy readers anxiously awaiting Raine's next adventure."

-Monsters and Critics.

"The kind of book you hope to find when you go to the bookstore. It takes you away to a world of danger, magic, and adventure, and it does so with dazzling wit and clever humor. It's gritty, funny, and sexy-a wonderful addition to the urban fantasy genre. I absolutely loved it. From now on Lisa Shearin is on my auto-buy list!"

-Ilona Andrews, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Magic Shifts "Armed & Magical, like its predecessor, is an enchanting read from the very first page. I absolutely loved it. Shearin weaves a web of magic with a dash of romance that thoroughly snares the reader. She's definitely an author to watch!"

-Anya Bast, New York Times bestselling author of Embrace of the Damned Magic Lost, Trouble Found.

"Take a witty, kick-ass heroine and put her in a vividly realized fantasy world where the stakes are high, and you've got a fun, page-turning read in Magic Lost, Trouble Found. I can't wait to read more of Raine Benares's adventures."

-Shanna Swendson, author of Don't Hex with Texas.

"A wonderful fantasy tale full of different races and myths and legends [that] are drawn so perfectly readers will believe they actually exist. Raine is a strong female, a leader who wants to do the right thing even when she isn't sure what that is...Lisa Shearin has the magic touch."

-Midwest Book Review.

"Shearin serves up an imaginative fantasy...The strong, well-executed story line and characters, along with a nice twist to the 'object of unspeakable power' theme, make for an enjoyable, fast- paced read."

-Monsters and Critics.

"Lisa Shearin turns expectation on its ear and gives us a different kind of urban fantasy with Magic Lost, Trouble Found. For once, the urban is as fantastic as the fantasy, as Shearin presents an otherworld city peopled with beautiful goblins, piratical elves, and hardly a human to be found. Littered with entertaining characters and a protagonist whose self- serving lifestyle is compromised only by her loyalty to her friends, Magic Lost is an absolutely enjoyable read. I look forward to the next one!"

-C. E. Murphy, author of Raven Calls.

"Nicely done. I actively enjoyed the characters and their banter."

-Critical Mass.

"Fun, fascinating, and loaded with excitement! Magic Lost, Trouble Found is a top-notch read of magic, mayhem, and some of the most charming elves and goblins I've ever encountered. Enthralling characters and a thrilling plot...I now need to cast a spell on Ms. Shearin to ensure there's a sequel."

-Linnea Sinclair, RITA Awardwinning author of Rebels and Lovers.
