About this series
A woman willing to brave the Underrealm.
A daring scheme intended to recover a lost treasure.
Carrie Pelsher is Fomhoire by blood. But driven by love, she has pledged herself to the Sidhe cause. Now, in a desperate ploy to end the ancient war for good, she will descend into the demon realm to recover a stolen relic—the Sword, one of the four magical chalices.
Brilk za Gorth is a humble Fachan demon who works for the Fomorian Ministry of Agriculture. Until immortals upend his quiet life. He's transformed into the most fearsome tyrant in the Fomhoire government and commanded to defy the Underrealm's God to help them steal the Sword.
Together, Carrie and Brilk are pawns in a game that spirals beyond their control. Everything depends on them surviving the plots swirling around them long enough to save two worlds on the brink of chaos.
After centuries of war, the quest for peace may cost them their lives.

2
An unsolved murder in the middle of downtown Sydney. A deadly attack on the city's Sidhe community. Sidhe sorcerer Riann Donovan has fled a tragic past in the U.S. and established herself in Sydney, Australia, as a photojournalist. Called to work a murder scene, she learns the victim is Sidhe and finds herself on the run from a swarm of demons and Fomhoire conjurers. She turns for help to Carrie Pelsher — new in the city, not Sidhe but possessed of a mysterious affinity for magic. Together they are drawn into a war as old as history itself, caught between forces ancient and deadly, all of them pursuing a treasure of unimaginable power. Failure would mean armageddon; success prolongs the conflict for another day. Our world stands poised on the edge of a blade.
