Mayhem and the Mortal

One mission.

One curse. No escape.

Zaira doesn t want a hero. She needs a weapon.

To save her sister from a soul-devouring curse, she has to cross The Shallows a nightmare landscape of ruined magic, shifting paths, and vicious creatures that eat people alive.

Her guide Thane Valkor: sorcerer, assassin, walking red flag.

His name clears rooms. His magic kills quietly. And whatever he s really after, it s not salvation.

He promises to help.

He might even mean it.

But Zaira knows better than to trust a liar with a blade and ice in his veins.

She just doesn t have a choice.
