An Addicted Vigilante, A Spy Master & An Archmage—One Conspiracy
An addicted vigilante hunts the criminals poisoning his city.
The poppyshade keeps his hands steady. The violence keeps him sane. He has his own reasons for hunting the Cutthroat gang, and none of them involve the missing prince everyone else is searching for.
A spymaster tears the city apart looking for her vanished cousin.
The heir to three kingdoms who disappeared without a trace. Her network is dying around her. Someone is feeding information to the enemy. And the longer the prince stays gone, the closer the realm slides toward war.
A reluctant archmage inherits a title he never wanted.
His grandfather's murder left him holding secrets that could save the kingdom or crown a tyrant. The woman helping him search knows more than she's telling.
Three paths. One conspiracy. No one knows how connected they are.
