Blurb

Two mages and the pirate they tried to kill are coerced into an uneasy alliance to save their city.

When the city of Hastrior is attacked by marauders, a rocky alliance is thrust upon three reluctant heroes, forcing them to put aside their personal feuds to save their home from an ancient menace.

Ozora despises Fraser Connell, the pirate who broke her heart, for trafficking endangered species, while Taenya DeLange is convinced he murdered her prince.

Their paths clashed five years ago with disastrous consequences, and scattered them to the winds, but a sassy sphinx has reunited them, saying they are the city's last defense against a resurgent evil.

Coerced to reluctantly join forces they must overcome past pain and betrayals to defeat the invaders.  They're going to need some convincing, because it's going to take more than just them to defeat the ancient evil that threatens.

Even if Taenya's new best friend is a dragon.
