The war is not over. It never was. The dust has settled, and David is only looking to restore what was taken from him. Laser focused on restoring his magic, though, he is blindsided by the civil unrest that meets him instead.If it's not the bandits destroying lives and families, it's the locals taking matters into their own hands. The new sheriff in town has no intention of enforcing the law or protecting the people, and the unrest of the citizens is a powder keg ready to burn down the whole town.With David's powers taken from him, he has only his fists, his wits, and an inexperienced teenage sorceress at his side. There's a massacre brewing, and if he can't decide who to trust, there will be no chance of survival.

Her only ally is one she's paid for. Her only resource is the magic that makes her a pariah. What Adelyn has in abundance, though, is grit. Raiders took her family for slaves, attacked her home town to steal what paltry wealth they had, and burned their crops for pure spite. Adelyn is resolved to take her loved ones back, no matter what it takes, but crossing the realm alone is no task for a teenage girl. Not even a teenage witch. She needs help. The bounty hunter she hires isn't her first choice, but she's not spoiled for choice and has no choice but to trust him. If that trust is misplaced, she doesn't have a backup plan. If she doesn't come home with her family, she won't come home at all.

Maggie Cartwright never expected to find herself as a mercenary, never mind one facing an apocalyptic threat the world hasn't seen in living memory. A solitary auto mechanic and a smith by trade, she's more comfortable making blades than using them. Slaying monsters professionally is a difficult, hazardous job that's as likely to end with fangs in your throat as a solid paycheck, even for professionals working in a team.But in the land of the fae, fate doesn't care what she's comfortable with, and for Maggie, the danger of razor claws and ancient magic pales next to the danger posed by her own people's politics. Monsters can kill. Manipulation by the fae can do far more damage.Maggie's talents as a master smith make her valuable, and her former mentor's legacy makes her a target. With a city on the line and hellish monstrosities digging their way up from the deep, Maggie can't refuse the call to fight, and the battle cannot be won without allies. With the right friends, she could save hundreds of thousands of lives and get paid doing it. But if she can't learn who to trust, she won't be the only one who ends up dead. ...
