Fire Summoning

My name is Rune and I recommend not falling in love with your would-be executioner. Of course, I don’t necessarily practice what I preach. I have to figure out why several orphans have been possessed by elementals and stop shifter criminals who want to destroy the city’s prison before it’s even built. But my worst problem is that Sash, equal parts beautiful and deadly, is immune to my goofy charm and appears determined to carry out her bloody assignment. I fear I’m going to find out how much love hurts. Fire Summoning is the second book in The Sentinels, a thrilling new urban fantasy series. Mixing mystery, magic, humor, and heart-pounding action, it's sure to delight fans of The Dresden Files and The Iron Druid Chronicles who may just find a new favorite hero in Rune Russell.

Fire Soldiers

2017

My name is Rune, and I’m not a coward—it’s just not everyone is meant to be a hero. My fire abilities provide great power, but they also mean I’m a danger to those close to me and to the world. For me, hard-won battles have always been accompanied by dire consequences. The supernatural war has broken out of the underworld and into broad daylight. Fire-wielding terrorists dominate the news, a specialized police force is imprisoning supernaturals without trial, and the kidnapping of the mayor has brought the entire city to boiling point. But sometimes the only way to win is not to play. To avoid, once more, doing the wrong thing and making everything worse, I must flee. Surely I can do that right, at least. I just need to ensure my friends are safe first. Fire Soldiers is the third book in The Sentinels, a thrilling new urban fantasy series. Mixing mystery, magic, humor, and heart-pounding action, it's sure to delight fans of The Dresden Files and The Iron Druid Chronicles who may just find a new favorite hero in Rune Russell.
