But now she finds herself on the front lines of an invasion of giants, intent on wiping out the entire kingdom, including Tallynd’s two sons—all that she has left. The stakes have never been higher. If Tallynd fails, her boys may never become men. SCHOLAR AND SPY Dervan is an historian who longs for a simple, quiet life. But he’s drawn into intrigue when he’s hired to record the tales of a mysterious bard who may be a spy or even an assassin for a rival kingdom. As the bard shares his fantastical stories, Dervan makes a shocking discovery: He may have a connection to the tales, one that will bring his own secrets to light. REBEL AND HERO Abhi’s family have always been hunters, but Abhi wants to choose a different life for himself.

"Half way through and I can only say WOW. This book is amazing! PLUS Luke Daniels ya'll. Xe Sands is amazing too. Really really enjoying this book. I've laughed, cried, and I'm on my toes waiting for more. I can't wait to get through it, but then it will be over and I'll be over here waiting for more. If you've loved anything by Kevin Hearne before, you won't be disappointed. However this is very different, and not appropriate for children until you read it first - super funny but college-frat boy level humor from one of the important characters."
