Sometimes the Fates give you a do-over. Ten years ago, Bix and her team of Dark Ops agents had a mission to rescue one of their own. The mission went pear-shaped; her team died, she was exiled, and the package was never retrieved. The guilt for that failure is a weight Bix can't shake...until she receives news that the agent is still alive and in possession of technology that could destroy the Mid Worlds. All Bix has to do is break the captured spy out of a top-secret supermax facility and destroy the tech before enemy forces beat her to the punch. Unfortunately, a prison built of potent magic to contain the Mids' worst deviants isn't on any map or radar. To get the necessary intel, Bix will resurrect a menacing identity and reach deep into the criminal underbelly where her legacy is far from forgotten. Old enemies lurk in the shadows, swift to strike. Even the darkness can betray her. As her allies fall, Bix will have to rely on the aid of adversaries to complete her mission. But supermax does strange things to the mind, and some things cannot be undone. Gods will perish when madness descends upon a captured spy.
Gods. Always ready to screw you. When Bix the Gatekeeper is summoned from exile a hundred and seventy years early by the goddess of the Norse Under World, the former Dark Ops agent knows there's a catch. On the surface, the terms of the deal are simple. Someone attacked the pantheon's ambassador to the Mid Worlds and left the ambassador in a coma. In exchange for early parole, Bix must identify the perpetrator and drag their soul to Hel. It'd be a sweet contract, if not for the details. The ambassador is Bix's ex-girlfriend, the lead suspect is the key witness from Bix's trial, and the organization leading the official investigation is the same intelligence guild that disavowed Bix when a covert op went pear-shaped. Undeterred, Bix returns to her old stomping grounds where clues in the smoldering woods of Centralia, Pennsylvania, lead to the waterfront of Washington, DC, and Worlds beyond. Once valued for her skills creating passageways as small as a capillary or as large as a continent, Bix's success now depends on the relationships she was forced to abandon. As she squares off against friends who betrayed her and enemies keen to destroy her, Bix follows a trail of secrets, torture, and treason that leads to the very superpowers who banished her. With her freedom on the line and revenge within reach, this highly-trained operative will take on Fates, dragons, angels, and gods to get exactly what she wants. Hel hath no fury like a burned spy.
The Hanged Spy upright encourages a new perspective.For Bix and her team, stealing the build specs for a prototype Mid Worlds defense system is a high-risk mission they can't refuse. The pantheons have dispatched their elite wet works unit to smite every researcher and facility associated with the project. Unfortunately, the gods have a head start, and Bix's only clue to salvaging the op is a personalized Tarot card of the Hanged Man.Illustrated by arcane magic, the card depicts an old Sage who'd trained Bix in the spy game. A Sage who'd repeatedly tried to kill her. A Sage who'd died right in front of her...or so she'd thought.As deceptions multiply, the superpowers sworn to protect the Mids hamstring each other in the name of politics while a merciless foreign army invades yet another World. The pressure mounts for Bix to deliver the specs with all haste, but higher powers and hidden truths sideline her team and send her spiraling out of control. When one bad decision shatters the life she most treasures, no god, angel, dragon, or Fate is safe from Bix's wrath.The Hanged Spy reversed demands a sacrifice.
