More about the Death's Left Hand series -


I stalked the worlds of both mortals and Strangers as a weapon of brutal efficiency… until my conscience got in the way. 


When I signed on to become part of the High Council’s elite force of mercenaries, I expected glory and fortune. I became a living legend, my name feared throughout the Strangefells. But when a routine job took an unexpected turn, my world was upended. The walls I’d built around that little bit of soul I had left came crashing down and I fell. Hard. 


I ran, broken, hiding in a sleepy town and hoping my past would leave me for dead. 


But someone betrayed me. Now the leader of the most savage vampire syndicate in the Strangefells is sighting me in her crosshairs. I have no choice but to allow old habits to take over if there’s any chance of surviving what my enemies have in store. Something that could destroy the world as we know it.


As the dangers rise and I rebuild bridges from the ashes I left behind, I start to realize that I’ve changed in ways I never saw coming. But can a mercenary eager for redemption hope for victory? Or is death the only thing waiting for me?

remeant (adjective): coming back, returning 


You know the situation’s gone awry when you have to talk your way out of the underworld. And this mission isn’t even close to done.


Turns out I’ve been working against the wishes of the Council. And my familiar refuses to keep working with me, which is a whole host of problems on its own…mainly, that it brings Tristan and me closer together. Distractingly so.


When we have to infiltrate the single most deadly lair on this side of the Strangefells for answers, I thought that would be the worst of it. But being surrounded by savage vampires and getting a sneak peek at their gruesome experiments with the ancient magick they’ve uncovered is just the beginning of their end game.


The darkness keeps drawing in and Moreno’s plans, decades in the making, are set in motion. We knew she was devious, but we had no idea how deep she’d embedded herself into our everyday lives. That underestimation might cost us everything.


I’ll do whatever it takes to prevent those monsters, the Ancients, from breathing free air again - sacrifice everything to save the ones I love.


Looks like I’m about to find out if the deal I made with Death is still valid.
