When Aden, a gruff half-orc veteran, agrees to watch his old war buddy's back during a high-stakes magical duel, what should be a straightforward favor turns into a nail-biting gauntlet of danger. Between scheming shapeshifters, a powerful Faerie lord with her own agenda, and enemies lurking around every corner, just getting his friend to the battleground alive becomes a monumental challenge. This action-packed urban fantasy is packed with heart, humor, and the kind of loyalty that only comes from surviving wars together—all wrapped up in a thrilling story about watching someone's back when the stakes have never been higher. If you love gritty paranormal adventures with found-family bonds and magic that crackles with danger, this one's a wild ride.
Reading soundtrack
High-octane urban fantasy with fae intrigue and found-family bonds. Blend dark electronic edges with orchestral mystery, indie rock grit with ethereal synths. Think industrial intensity meeting magical wonder—tense, loyal, darkly witty. Artists like Carpenter Brut, Highly Suspect, and Aurora.
