Series background & context
Thrill of the Hunt follows Daisy Carter, a low elf who is brave, resourceful, and trying to make a living as a delivery driver. She has a little more magic than people expect, but she also has a dangerous dependence on spider's silk, a magical drug that both helps and harms her.
Then Hugo Pemberville wrecks her life.
Hugo is a high elf, wealthy, skilled, arrogant, and famous as a treasure hunter. When Daisy crosses paths with him, she is pulled into a world of ancient objects, dangerous quests, old secrets, and magical status games. She wants to prove him wrong almost as much as she wants to survive.
The series blends treasure-hunt adventure with urban fantasy romance. Daisy is not a polished heroine, and that is the point. She is scrappy, angry, funny, and carrying problems that cannot be solved by finding one shiny artifact. Harper gives the books humor and banter, but Daisy's addiction and her place in elf society add real weight.
The setting moves through Scotland and beyond, using folklore, history, and magical treasure as fuel for each new problem. Hugo and Daisy's slow-burn dynamic develops alongside the hunts, but the broader arc also digs into Daisy's family, her powers, and the fiendish danger closing in around her.
Start with Tattered Huntress, then read Fiendish Delights, Skullduggery, and The Salted Sceptre. The fourth book closes the main arc, so the series works best as a complete four-book run.
