Kordell King might act as if nothing ever bothers him, but this small-town sheriff’s deputy knows something isn’t right and it’s eating him up. The cute bartender he’s longed for since she first moved to town is hiding something—something she doesn’t want anyone to know. Georgina Grey wasn’t who she said she was. Her real last name was Greyson. As much as her family ruled Martha’s Vineyard and the world of pharmaceuticals, she was just Georgie here in Shadows Landing. And that was how she was going to stay . . . until her family found her. Trusting Kord with the truth gave Georgie more than an assurance that her potential death wouldn’t be in vain. It gives her a partner—someone to help protect her as she stands against the storm. However, it also puts a target on Kord’s life when he refuses to leave her to fight alone.

"A new star is rising in the fantasy firmament...teems with magic and spine-chilling amounts of skullduggery."–Dave Duncan, author of The Great Game When young Alec of Kerry is taken prisoner for a crime he didn’t commit, he is certain that his life is at an end. But one thing he never expected was his cellmate. Spy, rogue, thief, and noble, Seregil of Rhiminee is many things–none of them predictable. And when he offers to take on Alec as his apprentice, things may never be the same for either of them. Soon Alec is traveling roads he never knew existed, toward a war he never suspected was brewing. Before long he and Seregil are embroiled in a sinister plot that runs deeper than either can imagine, and that may cost them far more than their lives if they fail. But fortune is as unpredictable as Alec’s new mentor, and this time there just might be…Luck in the Shadows.
