Scandalously accused of murder in his hometown, Godren is compelled to flee for his innocent life, only to take up crime for survival on the streets. He knew he would have to adapt - but he never meant to adapt so well.Too late, he learns he has woven a reputation into the interests of corrupt professionals - namely Mastodon, the crime queen of the city. A sorceress of sorts, she has been avoided by the law more than hunted. But bounty hunters are becoming increasingly reckless in character, and, unbound by the particulars of the law, are realizing their capacity to grapple with her.Due to their evolving nerve, Mastodon has put a price on their own heads. Godren faces a commission of leading a new breed of bounty hunter against the originals. Doomed if he refuses such a ruthless woman her wishes, Godren has little choice but to comply, when all he wants is to escape the injustice of the corrupt world he has been plunged into.Will there prove to be no honor in survival? Or does fate work in mysterious ways, and do the forsaken still shelter secret ambitions?

Harper Alexander
Author · 3 books
Harper Alexander is a writer of young adult, fantasy, paranormal romance and dystopian novels, as well as the occasional short story when there isn't time to make everything into a full-fledged book or series. She lives in paradise (Southern California) with her husband Chad and their feline companions Moo, Charlie, and Wolf, and the more questionable voices that whisper to her on a daily basis. In another life, she would have loved to pursue a career as a horse-back stunt double, supported by a past as a competitive gymnast and her lifelong love affair with horses. She danced as a Spanish Dancer in “Ramona” (California's longest-running, official outdoor state play) for 8 years. Some of her favorite authors include Laini Taylor, Dawn Cook, Patrick Rothfuss, Tamora Pierce, Kristen Britain, and Cornelia Funke. She is currently hard at work on half a dozen sequels and half a million new ideas. Some of her favorite obsessions aside from books include peacocks, dandelion seeds, gargoyles, watercolor tattoos, and thrift store shopping.
