Diana Tregarde
Mercedes Lackey · 3 novels · 1 novella · 4 short stories · 1 collection · 1989–2014
Mercedes Lackey's Diana Tregarde novels follow a romance novelist who is secretly a practicing witch and Guardian sworn to protect humanity from supernatural threats. Burning Water pairs her with a psychic Dallas police detective investigating ritual killings that turn out to be preparation for the return of an Aztec god, and the following books send her up against other awakened threats using the same blend of occult research and hands-on magic. It's urban fantasy built around a recurring occult-detective partnership rather than a single continuous plot.
