Kate Daniels: Wilmington Years

The series

Full series details →

Seven years after the chaos of Atlanta, Kate Daniels has traded battlegrounds for the coastal city of Wilmington, hoping for a quieter life with Curran and their son. But quiet never lasts long when magic still surges unpredictably, and when old reputations follow like a shadow. In this new chapter, the once mercenary swordswoman finds herself balancing motherhood with the familiar pull of danger as strangers, allies, and enemies alike test the limits of her hard‑won peace.

Read full series description

What sets this continuation apart is how grounded it feels. The world remains one where magic and technology clash in ever‑shifting tides, but the threats here are more insidious than city‑wide wars, ancient powers lurking in forgotten places, desperate communities looking for salvation, and the haunting question of how far one should go to protect a family. The tension between domestic life and the unrelenting call of power gives every page a quiet urgency, reminding readers that survival often requires more than a sharp blade.

Blending sharp humor, simmering danger, and the emotional weight of legacy, this series reclaims the thrill of the original Kate Daniels saga while carving out something new, more intimate, yet no less explosive. Wilmington is a different battlefield, and Kate must learn quickly that even in a smaller city, the stakes can be just as high.
