A new town, new friends, new challenges…. And a new heart-stopping adventure from #1 New York Times bestselling author, Ilona Andrews. Kate, Curran, and Conlan may have left Atlanta for Wilmington, but the usual magic mayhem has also hitched a ride!
Kate and Curran have just settled into their new home and their 'low profile,' when a local businessman approaches them with an offer they can’t refuse. A mysterious evil has spawned in the nearby forest and is holding a defenseless town hostage. The ‘due date’ is rapidly approaching.
It’s exactly the kind of fight the Lennarts can’t resist, not for the prize the town offers, but for the people who will surely die if they ignore it. If they succeed, they’ll be rescuing an entire community and can build a strong new base for their family and the Wilmington Pack. If they fail...well, fail is a four-letter word.
Nothing comes without a price. Now Kate must decide if she has what it takes to pay it.
The series
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.
