Cheer on the Prodigal Suns and find out what’s next for Emily and Idina on the next big adventure in This They Will Defend.

Emily Trigger is on a mission with her elite team. The Prodigal Suns are on the hunt for Heka, the ancient marauding god of magic. But first, they have to find him. Someone helped Heka escape his long sleep in the Amazon jungles, and the old god wants to make up for lost time. First on his list was getting back some of his power. Next, gather even more power—one innocent victim at a time. Step number Rebuild his army of mindless, empty, zombies, and what better place to start than with a nearby village of innocent Amazonian locals? Emily and her fellow soldiers need to stop that from happening, no matter the cost. Turns out, Emily may be the key to everything. Her new powers brought on by the blast of magical ammo in Russia may be just enough to stop the angry god. Maybe. That is, if she ever tells anyone about them and learns to harness her powerful, new abilities. Will her fellow operators grow suspicious enough of her secret to cause a rift among the team? Or can she open up to the Prodigal Suns she's only just met and learn to trust a unit that might be just as wary of Emily as she is of getting close to anyone? The Prodigal Suns are piecing together the mystery of what brought Heka back, racing against the clock before he can wreak more havoc than they can clean up. Will they find him in time?

Emily Trigger and the Prodigal Suns are following Heka’s calling card. The trail of injured and dead bodies is a dark trail leading them to the ancient god of magic. Not before a whole lot of searching for Emily and her new unit. While the Prodigal Suns wait for new intel on Heka's whereabouts, Emily finds herself faced with a few new threats of her own, and her newly altered magic suddenly doesn't seem so accidental anymore. There's a rhyme and a reason to her electrifying new abilities—somewhere—and Emily needs to figure out what that is if she wants to stop having so many close calls. Like almost being killed by magical creatures that shouldn't exist. And somewhere out there, on the other side of the world, more powerful players who thought they were out of the picture forever are also noticing changes in their own magic and its strength. Will that help or harm the Prodigal Suns? As the search continues, Heka creates more chaos, turning an entire town into zombies. The Prodigal Suns are being pushed to their limits. Can Emily and the Prodigal Suns figure out where Heka is heading and stop him from getting to his destination before it’s too late?

The trail has turned cold, and the Prodigal Suns have to wait for a new sign of Heka to pop up and begin the chase again.When it does, it will lead them on a mission to the other side of the world. A few of Heka’s zombie followers have popped up in Turkey and Emily Trigger and the rest of her unit are sent out on the trail. Or so they think.Heka wants to steal the magic building inside of Emily. What for? Not for anything good. But he needs Emily to make his plan come to fruition. The ancient God of Magic has sent his mindless followers after Emily and the special forces, the Prodigal Suns. The hunters may become the hunted.Heka won’t stop until he has Emily’s newfound power. He doesn’t know what kind of fighting force he’s up against.Can Emily and the Prodigal Suns find out what he wants and why before it’s too late for humanity?

The world just got a lot more dangerous for Emily Trigger and the Prodigal Suns. There’s a demigod on a quest for vengeance who is hunting Emily for her new magic. If Heka gets his way, her team will be nothing but collateral damage. The god of magic has eyes and ears everywhere, watching Emily. Heka's network of human prey form a secret undead surveillance system. And they could be literally anyone. Not good. It gets worse. There’s new intel of an army lieutenant supporting Heka's schemes and an ancient Marajoara tracking spell modified for the modern age. Emily's deepest, darkest secret holds the key to finally completing this already impossible mission. But first, a bit of unorthodox training is in store for the Prodigal Suns. Will it be enough to give them the upper hand in their upcoming war with a god? And can Emily's team handle what her electrifying new magic can really do? There’s only one way to find out!

Heka, the ancient god of magic, has grand plans and thanks to Dr. Semenov, Heka knows exactly where he’s going to start. Black-market weapons manufacturers and dealers. And his plans aren’t for the good of the world. Meanwhile, Emily Trigger and the Prodigal Suns are impatiently waiting for a spell to work so they can track down Heka. They’re using the time to figure out the mechanics of Emily’s new magic and how they can use it together as a team. Teamwork makes dreams work, right? When the tracking spell finally goes off in the middle of the night, they grab their gear and follow their pet zombie. But they aren’t the only ones following him. A whole bunch of Heka-turned-zombies are tracking them too and they’re hell bent on getting their hands on Emily and her powerful magic. The Prodigal Suns aren’t going to let that happen. Several fights later and they end up at Ricky Palladino’s house. He’s not Heka, but he’s his left-hand man, so it’s good enough for now. And maybe his spell book might have some answers for them. They need a consult with Samsu to find the answer to putting an end to Heka once and for all. Or at least putting him back in his underground tomb. Can Emily and the Prodigal Suns continue to fight off zombies and make their way into Russia before Heka completes his plans and destroys the world?
