View our feature on Patricia Briggs’s Silver Borne.

All-new action in the #1 New York Times bestselling urban fantasy series

When mechanic and shapeshifter Mercy Thompson attempts to return a powerful Fae book she'd previously borrowed in an act of desperation, she finds the bookstore locked up and closed down.

It seems the book contains secret knowledge-and the Fae will do just about anything to keep it out of the wrong hands. And if that doesn't take enough of Mercy's attention, her friend Samuel is struggling with his wolf side-leaving Mercy to cover for him, lest his own father declare Sam's life forfeit.

All in all, Mercy has had better days. And if she isn't careful, she might not have many more to live...

What the critics say

Praise for Silver Borne

“If the term ‘ass-kicking chick’ has ever found a more apt heroine I—well, I can’t think of who. These are fantastic adventures and Mercy reigns.”—SFRevu

“Filled with action, romance, and fae intrigue...another entertaining entry in a strong saga. However, it is Patricia Briggs’ world-building skills on a par with early Laurell K. Hamilton that make Silver Borne a winner.”—Midwest Book Review

“Exciting...Briggs creates both well-rounded characters and a complex mythology, resulting in a rich read that’s far more than a series of action adventures strung together.”—Publishers Weekly

“Mesmerizing...Always an astonishing storyteller, Briggs keeps adding layers of rich complexity to her characters and their world.”—RT Book Reviews (Top Pick, 4 ½ stars)

“In the increasingly crowded field of kick-ass supernatural heroines, Mercy stands out as one of the best.”—Locus

“Action-packed and with more than a few satisfying emotional payoffs...Patricia Briggs at the top of her game.”—The Speculative Herald

“The characters are all realistic and vibrant.”—The Independent

“These are fantastic adventures, and Mercy reigns.”—SFRevu

“The world building is incredibly lush and subsuming...a fantastic urban fantasy adventure.”—Fresh Fiction

Another good story in this series. Patricia Briggs keeps developing this world in interesting ways. I love the female protagonist, who is smart and capable, surviving largely by her wits. Coyote gets drawn to trouble like a fish to water, but she usually finds some way of wiggling out of it.

Silver Born is, as always, a fantastic meshing of Patricia Briggs' amazing stories and Lorilei King's wonderful narrative talents.
Lorilei King makes all the characters come alive. Going so far as to give each one a unique voice designed around each one. The extra effort into making each character pop makes this preformince incredibly enjoyable to listen to.
Of course none of that would be possible without the rich and expressive world Patricia Briggs has written into existence. Silver Born is an excellent continuation of Mercy's story. It resolves past story lines, paves the way for new ones, and expands the cast of characters in an enjoyable fashion. It's truly worth the listen.

I love this book actually I love every book she's got in series.

Laurelie King knows how to do a great reading and give me individual characters that I can't visually see.
