First book in a funny, new paranormal series set in a fictionalized western Canada.

Ending the world is harder than it looks…Librarian Anna Fray has spent her life fighting the prophecy that says she'll rise as War, the fourth horsewoman. War clansmen don't find love, don't enjoy life, and usually have lives that are short, brutal, and lonely. But now that all three of her friends have risen, becoming War seems as unavoidable as late fees. After all, the knitting club just burned down her house, and an arrogant pigeon is starting bar fights and claiming to be War's horse. There's no escape…until she discovers a loophole: find another candidate, and maybe she won't have to become War.Loki - yes, that Loki - is used to being hated and mistrusted, and knows he's better off alone. But he's worked for decades on his ultimate plan to save humanity and Anna is key. He might have a soft spot for the town librarian who was once his ward, but he'll do everything he can to convince her she's the best and only candidate for War. Unfortunately, he hadn't accounted for the fact that Anna is all grown up, completely immune to his abilities and far too seductive for his peace of mind. As passion burns between them, the fate of the Four will be decided…along with just what kind of apocalypse awaits humanity.

Death is breaking all the rules. Nia Amort is about to rise as Death, the third horsewoman. Her powers so far have been few and far between. Mostly dead people, dead people, and more dead people. But the Fates and the gods are out to kill her, a soul devourer stalks her dreams, and she owes Loki way too many favors. Worst of all, if she doesn't gain her abilities soon, she's going to lose her daughter all over again. Ex-cop Mal Quilan is used to being the bad guy, growing up in the shadow of his perfect twin, and judged for his Fomorian, half-demon bloodlines. But he's always had a soft spot for Nia, and when he's given the chance to protect her until she can rise as Death, he takes it. Sure, he'll have to ignore the old feelings she arouses in him, and there's a high likelihood of his own death. But maybe, there's a chance for redemption too … if the gods don't kill them first.

Who says Famine can't love cupcakes?Ginny Lack is about to rise as Famine, the next horsewoman of the apocalypse, and needs an ally to help her gain her abilities. Agreeing to an arranged marriage with a Brit, sight unseen, doesn't seem so bad considering her symbolic "horse" is a gutter-minded talking grasshopper, and her dead twin is stalking her. Aligning with another powerful Famine family through marriage will provide the confidant she craves and keep her secrets. How would it look if the other clans knew the heir to Famine loves baking?James Derth is the family black sheep because he's devoted his life to combating Famine. Agreeing to marry the heir to his clan is the opportunity he's been waiting for to stop famine permanently, and he's promised the gods results. How hard can it be to stop a spoiled Famine princess from rising? But when he meets his new fiancée, the sweet, curvy redhead is nothing like he expected. Her kisses are as irresistible as her cupcakes and twice as hazardous to his heart. Keeping his distance will be a whole lot harder, but he better find a way to stop her…or the gods will kill them both in ten days.

Spreading disease isn't all it's cracked up to be.Piper Bane wants nothing to do with her pesky Pestilence bloodline and would give anything to be a Normal.
