When hardened half-orc bodyguard Flint gets dragged out of retirement for what should be a simple job, he ends up escorting a client through the treacherous overlap between the mortal world and the deadly realm of Faerie. With elves on their heels, trigger-happy enemies closing in, and a near-goddess determined to capture them both, Flint's combat experience from two wars suddenly feels inadequate against magic he never believed in. This is urban fantasy meets action thriller, where old-school firepower meets impossible odds and a gruff hero discovers that the supernatural world is far messier—and more personal—than he bargained for. If you love gritty paranormal adventures with a no-nonsense protagonist thrown into impossible situations, this is a wild ride you won't want to miss!
