Undercover Officer Katrina Malloy’s mission is to enter the world of drug and weapons trafficking and extract information. Her relationship with a Twin Cities ringleader spirals out of control, and she finds herself doing things undercover cops should never do. By the time Katrina realizes her situation, she is In Too Deep. The Minneapolis police chief summons rookie Officer Wes Phillips. Someone requested Wes be pulled from duty and participate in a task force. The chief is not happy about it and gives Wes one bit of advice: try not to get killed. The task force is invested in cleaning up crime and making the Cities and their surrounding communities safe. But it has a leak and has lost members to mysterious deaths. Katrina requested Wes. They had been friends at the Police Academy, and she knows she can trust him with her life. But the stakes rise, and her life is no longer the only one in danger. She needs Wes to come in, help shut down the illegal activities, and get her out. Will the leak claim Wes next? Or can he help the task force and get Katrina out alive?
Eamonn never wanted to be a thief. So when a risky mission goes awry and he receives the chance of a lifetime, he leaves behind everything, even his newfound family in the Thieves’ Guild, to pursue an apprenticeship as an honest merchant. Traveling the country means he sees and hears everything. Civil unrest, rebellions against the monarchies, and rumors of a usurper bent on uniting the provinces under himself with a mythical form of magic. Few suspect he’s not chasing a dead end, including village girl Leyna, a believer in the magic of ancient histories. Eamonn’s skeptical heart is also swayed once he finds himself the tyrant’s target, unknowingly possessing the key to harness the dangerous power. To protect it, Eamonn’s only choice is to flee. But now that it’s the mission of his former brothers in the Guild to hunt him down, keeping magic out of their hands might be harder than either Leyna or Eamonn thought possible. If they fall, though, their world does too.
