I’m Val Thorvald, assassin of magical bad guys and tenuous ally to the dragon lord Zav. He still calls me a mongrel and thinks I’m a criminal, but he healed my wounds after we fought those dark elves together. That’s progress, right? Maybe one day, he’ll deign to use my name. Not that this is my primary concern. I’m busy with a new assignment. Nin, the awesome lady who makes my magical weapons, has a werewolf problem. Specifically, sleazy loser werewolf competitors who want to drive her out of business. Or worse.

I've stepped onto an alien world to surrender myself to my nemesis. But my captor isn't what he seems. Becoming his prisoner is the only way to save a friend and get closer to my precious fae babies - my faebies. I don't plan on staying in captivity for long, though, because Faith and Abel need me. The history books lied about the Unseelie Court. Strange things are afoot. War is brewing close to the surface. I might even be able to stop it...or start it, depending on my actions.

Going into Briarwitch Academy, I wasn't a big fan of supernaturals. But I learned to appreciate something: Other than their magic and unreasonable attractiveness (seriously, it's not fair), they're not so different than humans. There are good ones and bad ones. Currently, I have a bad one locked away. I'm eager - maybe too eager - to pry some answers out of him. I need to know where my babies were taken. I need to know who's killing people on campus. I need to know who's involved in the shady plots surrounding Briarwitch like a fog.

In hospital, however, he changes tack and decides to dedicate his Memorial Book to the memories of the elderly patients in his ward, described to him as alumni of the early-Soviet Institute for Natural Genius.

The question is: Is Scarlet Darksbane a real witch? Bay is in the middle of all of it.

Yara Parmstone, human thief and newly chosen Queen of the Dragon Shifters, is unimpressed with her new title. Especially since it’s turning into a living nightmare. The last full-moon ritual didn’t give the dragon shifters their usual power boost - but it did give them a wimpy human as queen. Now? They’re pissed. They blame Yara. And they’re out for blood. It’s even worse than that, though. Something dark and powerful is working to pit the dragons against each other, including the brothers in Yara’s sexy-as-hell harem.
