No day is ordinary in a world where Technology and Magic
compete for supremacy…But no matter which force is winning,
in the apocalypse, a sword will always work.
Hugh d’Ambray, Preceptor of the Iron Dogs, Warlord of the
Builder of Towers, served only one man. Now his immortal,
nearly omnipotent master has cast him aside. Hugh is a
shadow of the warrior he was, but when he learns that the
Iron Dogs, soldiers who would follow him anywhere, are being
hunted down and murdered, he must make a choice: to fade
away or to be the leader he was born to be. Hugh knows he
must carve a new place for himself and his people, but they
have no money, no shelter, and no food, and the necromancers
are coming. Fast.
Elara Harper is a creature who should not exist. Her enemies
call her Abomination; her people call her White Lady. Tasked
with their protection, she's trapped between the magical
heavyweights about to collide and plunge the state of
Kentucky into a war that humans have no power to stop.
Desperate to shield her people and their simple way of life,
she would accept help from the devil himself—and Hugh
d’Ambray might qualify.
Hugh needs a base, Elara needs soldiers. Both are infamous
for betraying their allies, so how can they create a
believable alliance to meet the challenge of their enemies?
