A Fistful of Faeries — Gareth Lewis

After an absence from the Thief-City, Rax Darkthorn has debts long overdue, and not to the kind of people who'd let them slide. Making good on them will require negotiating with a crystalline savage and a faerie queen, and placing himself in the middle of a simmering gang war.

Second in the Tales of the Thief-City series.

A 6700 word fantasy short story.
