In a world where magic and technology clash in unpredictable waves, Atlanta is a city caught between medieval savagery and modern urban life. Kate Daniels, a sharp-witted mercenary with a mysterious past and a penchant for cleaning up magical messes, prefers to keep her head down. But when her guardian, a knight of the Mercenary Guild, is brutally murdered, Kate is thrust into a dangerous quest for justice. Her investigation quickly draws her into the tumultuous power struggle between two dominant magical factions: the techno-magical Order of Knights of Merciful Aid and the more primal, shape-shifting Pack. Navigating a treacherous landscape of ancient curses, dark sorcery, and political intrigue, Kate finds herself an unwilling pawn caught between powerful forces who demand her loyalty. Realizing she’s vastly out of her depth but fueled by an unwavering resolve, Kate must use every ounce of her cunning and formidable skill to uncover the killer and survive the magical maelstrom threatening to consume Atlanta, even if it means exposing her own hidden powers and battling foes far beyond her wildest nightmares. This is the pulse-pounding start to a #1 New York Times bestselling urban fantasy series.
