Many feel that the Laws of Wotan clearly prohibit the use of muskets in combat, but that didn’t prevent the Empire of Anjou from introducing them and transforming the face of warfare forever. Now, a full generation after the heretical weapons drove the High Kingdom of Kriegsturm firmly onto the defensive, neither side is yet using the gun to its full potential.

That’s about to change.

Lieutenant Marshal Sturm, one of a handful of survivors of a battalion decimated by the musket-hating doctrine of his superiors, has developed a new tactic that could flip the battlefield upside down. The only thing standing in his way are the officers of his own chain of command. But the Empire is set to invade Kriegsturm again and the only thing that can prevent total annihilation is Sturm and his Musket Men.

A decade of relative peace is about to collapse, and only Dhrugal and his brothers and sister stand between Winterhaven and dark-spun chaos.

The Accord of Fellowship has stood for two thousand years, united the races against the scourge of The Great Defile. But now that the last champion has fallen, that unity has sundered in a terrible civil war. The only chance to restore the alliance is for the gods to create a new champion to bind their disparate peoples back together again. But since the gods cannot stop fighting among themselves, it will take a bit of trickery to get them to cooperate one last time. The champions of the elves, dwarves, humans, waterfolk, sylvan, shimmers, and aerie have all failed. Now it’s time for the lowliest of the peoples to produce a hero who can show the taller folk the way.

If folks had any business living in the small Colorado town of Hadrian’s Well, there wouldn’t be places like Dead Man’s Field and Widow’s Creek surrounding it. There’s just something different about the territory—something that draw all sorts of preternatural creatures towards it. If long term residents know what that something is, they aren’t talking, but newcomer Deputy Sheriff Joanna Donovan may just have what it takes to figure it out—if she survives long enough.

Unfortunately, peace is the last thing Mitch can find. Trouble follows wherever he goes and not even his best friend, boxer-turned-bodyguard, Kit Moran, can keep him out of all of it.

If not for the quick action of a passing stranger, Mina Raintree’s bad-news sister would have bled out in the road.

But who is this good Samaritan who’s always at the wrong place at the right time to help Mina? And is he, like Ally’s crazy-eyed assailant, much more than he appears to be? There’s a supernatural community hiding within Philadelphia pretending to be human and Mina, thanks to her younger sister, is about to learn what happens to people who discover there are monsters hiding among us.
