Cole Rexford isn't a hero-he's a cigar-smoking, sharp-tongued ex-soldier with scars deeper than the one across his eye. Content to drink, gamble, and hunt monsters for coin, his quiet life is shattered when a sealed letter from an old war buddy drags him into a deadly mystery. Villages are burning. Monsters are uniting. And ancient enemies thought long vanished are walking in daylight. Reluctantly stepping back into the fray, Cole assembles a mismatched crew of mercenaries, misfits, and one overly polite military strategist with a knack for war games and no clue how to survive a brothel. What begins as a favor quickly unravels into a war against a hidden force threatening to consume the kingdom from within. The deeper they dig, the darker it gets. Loyalties will be tested. Legends will awaken. And Cole-whether he likes it or not-might be the last line of defense between civilization and the monsters clawing through the cracks. Gritty action, snarky humor, a bit of vice, and a whole lot of mystery.

"Rian, my dear and esteemed human friend. As promised, I'm writing you a letter. Surprisingly, I'm alive and even in good health. But the story of what happened to me still leaves me in shock. First of all, I was almost eaten..." That's how the letter began, which mysteriously appeared one day in Lucerian's study. Written on fine paper but in completely illegible handwriting, it was full of absurd, comical descriptions and strange events. Erian, his merfolk friend, had apparently gone through something incredible-a wedding among vampires, full of unexpected twists, bloody rituals, and clumsy attempts to avoid being sacrificed. And now, having become the Prince Consort, he was sending Lucerian his sarcastic notes about his new life, where even his surname seemed too long and absurd to him. Lucerian couldn't help but smile, sensing that this was far from the last outrageous letter he would receive from his friend.
