This starts out with London looking for a Sidhe that will take her on for work in exchange for the Touch she needs to survive.  She does end up capturing one, however, she does not know what a grave mistake that she made until after she returns him to Donovan and the Glamor Club.  So now that the Unseelie know about the fighting she did in the collapse of the mounds and by kidnapping Keiran, a Sidhe, she also needs someone that will shield her from the Unseelie that are out to kill her. One big problem after another.Malcolm, the Bloodhound, can feel, see, hear, and smell the magic of the Fey.  He can search for them and disembowel them totally.  We also learn about the Slaugh and what they can do.  Things start to get a little dicey at this point.  Malcolm is a ticking time bomb and Donovan does not know from one day to the next what he will do.  This should be interesting.Meanwhile, Salena introduces London to Lugh and he takes her on as his druidess and gives her the Touch as she needs it in exchange for her loyalty. Donovan tries to teach the Sidhe how to fight and defend themselves, and Lugh tries to get relics that will give the Sidhe a new place to live while fighting the fade.  Lugh even teams up with Salena to find the hidden relics and to appease the beast growing inside him because of the dark magic that is poisoning him.If you like any Urban Fantasy, this is the series you have to read.  From The Touched series, The Rise of the Unseelie, to the Champion of the Sidhe, they are all a great series in and of themselves.  However, if you want to read them in the suggested reading order, as others like, you should read:  The Sidhe Collection 1.  Scattered Magic and 2. Remnants of Magic. for the complete season 1 collection.I happen to like them both ways.  They are complete stories in their own right.  I am Captivated by the way they are written and Compelled to read them all.  S.A. Archer and S. Ravynheart have cornered the market on this series.  There is no other team I know of that can write like this.  They make you fall in love with each and every character and you feel as if you are right beside them as you read each story.  This series is one that you will not want to put down.  I can not wait for the second half to start and am anxiously awaiting the next book in the second half of this series.Remnants of Magic (The Sidhe Collection (Urban Fantasy))
