About this series
War is coming. Its destruction darkens the skies of a broken Earth.
The unholy forces of Skye's mortal enemy and one-time mentor, Hunter Wolf, gather to destroy New Denver and all that Skye has built with the help of the sometimes sorcerer Marlin and King Arthur's mythical sword Excalibur. She's no hero, she knows this. She's only a former mercenary and loner, a survivor.
The smart move is to run once again, to save her own skin.
But Skye has fought for a home among the desperate refugees flooding into the city. They chose her as their leader, ignoring her bloody past, trusting her. She has promised them a future free of Wolfe's evil and given them the one thing in short supply—hope. And, she has finally found hope of love with Lance.
How can she let down those who trust her, the man who loves her?
No, Skye is done with running, with surviving. This time she fights.
Even if it costs her everything...

The world is dark, divided, and in desperate need of a hero. Bandits destroyed Skye's home and sent her running into the hands of a power-hungry despot. Now, with the government burying itself in bunkers underground and technology lost to all but a sacred few, the hunt for a weapon of incredible magic has begun. And the hunters have their sights set on Skye. One is a powerful sorcerer who wants her to join the fight. All she has to do is accept his gift: a sword possessed of legendary magic that is both terrible and frightening. A sword that can turn her into that hero. That is...if can she wield its power without losing herself to it… Fans of Faith Hunter, Helen Harper, and Ilona Andrews have already begun to sink their teeth into this gritty fantasy adventure.

She beat back the threat once. But now it isn't coming for her... ...It's coming for everyone. Skye Shadow spent years on her own in the dangers of New Earth because she couldn't trust anyone. Now that the residents of New Denver have elected her their leader, she needs to find a way to navigate the treacherous landscape of faith. She has Excalibur. She has a sort-of magician named Marlin. And she has a budding romance with the blacksmith. But safety is not assured. And legends have a way of ending badly. When a sudden fire threatens the entire town, gathers the troops to bring it under control, using the powers of her magician's allies to contain it. But it's no ordinary fire. Hunter Wolfe has returned, and now he has an ally himself. One more powerful than she's ever seen. He has declared war and he intends to win. Now Skye must find a way to gather those who agreed to follow her into an army that can defeat their foe for good. But it might cost her that budding romance and tax her magician too much, and she's not sure anymore if she can maintain her composure without losing her entire sense of humanity. If you love retellings of King Arthur's legends but love dystopian fantasy as well, you should give this series a try. Get it now.
