Part of Series
Time is running out for Scarlett Prynne and Runeclaw to save the captives of the Luminous Veil. Despite their efforts to disrupt the Veil’s plans, they’re still marching toward their ultimate goal. Whatever that is. It obviously involves the mind control collars, but creating an army of menial servants seems less than ambitious. And if there’s one thing that Camus and the Veil have in plenty, it’s dark ambition. Amber is using her infomancy to try to track down leads, Snow is working on figuring out the collars’ magic, and Maddox is forever upgrading and repairing Dusk Runner so Scarlett can take the motorcycle back into battle. Are they all just waiting for the other shoe to drop? They have one lead, but the sand is ticking out on that particular hourglass. The tracer they’d placed on Kingston Trane will expire soon, and it only leads to the location of the next Veil atrocity. However, Scarlett has always been good at getting into trouble. It’s her own dangerous kind of GPS. This time, the trouble will be the biggest yet, culminating in a final fight that she’d better be sure she’ll win. What she doesn’t know is going to try to kill her. Camus has been preparing for years to deal with such a challenge. Can Scarlett and Runeclaw survive? Can they even prevail? As options dwindle, it seems less and less likely. But a wise person never bets against a witch, her cat, and her crew. For action, magic, snarky banter, martial arts, mystical creatures, and a dash of mystery, join Scarlett and Runeclaw on their next adventure.
Authors
I’m TR Cameron, science fiction author. I’ve been an avid consumer of the genre since I was six, I think, when I broke the seal on my Dad’s copies of the Asimov Foundation books. It’s been all downhill since then. I have a day job that I love most days, and writing is pretty much my only consistent hobby. When I find time that’s not already filled with my wife, my daughter, my writing, my work, or dodging the affections of our clowder of cats, you can find me playing video games (currently Dishonored 2 – I’m a little behind the times on this one), watching things (Marvel movies, American Gods, Agents of Shield, Justified, The Expanse, Gotham), playing board games, or, naturally, reading. My favorite authors in Sci-Fi are David Weber, Jean Johnson, John Scalzi, CJ Cherryh, and the giants: Asimov, Pohl, Bear, Heinlein, etc. I read a lot in other genres too, and am a big fan of Matthew Woodring Stover, Michael Anderle, Jim Butcher, and I could go on and on and on. If I had to choose one favorite, though, it would be Stephen R. Donaldson, whose Thomas Covenant series was transformative for me. Probably my pie-in-the-sky dream for my writing career is that someone would make a movie or television show of my books and I could be a part of the production. Sure, unlikely, but a clowder-dodger can dream, right? My more practical dream is that I can keep writing and both entertaining and connecting with my readers for years and years to come.
