    Falcon Crest and its hidden machinations have taken much from the Heroes of Dragon’s Nest, but the cost just might not have been for nothing. Change is on the horizon in the form of holding the powerful to task and the possible formation of a new royal lineage. 
    The burden of completing the task for ancient, now-revealed entity, however, soon pushes Jack, Tanner, Allie, and Gefnar back out across a war-torn continent, and new obstacles arise. Samanir forces are now guided by a different hand, one that seeks to gather half-breed factions for peace talks, in hopes of bringing the fighting to a speedy close. 
    But many have plans for the future of all half-breeds, including new allies and old enemies. And if Jack is to keep her people, both those of blood and those of duty sworn, from harm, she may have to take irrevocable steps on the path fate has laid before her.

    Pru'ut is a small hot planet, covered with fern forests and swamps, and inhabited by one of the innumerable primate-human species of the universe. It was also inhabited, for a while, by one Terran, James Grady. The natives called their world Pru'ut, Grady called it The Mud Hole. He was the sole human on the planet, and his job was to pay the natives to collect the native plants and have them picked up 3 times a year. The company turned them into an array of wonderful drugs for the rest of the inhabited systems. He loved the job and enjoyed the easy going native life style. The only problem was the bewildering array of native taboos and customs that he had to learn and abide by. Which he did very well until one day when he made a tiny little mistake.  Really, it was small and inadvertent, but that did not keep it from being deadly.

    Every time Dylan Apel casts a spell, disaster strikes—from conjuring a giant swarm of bloodsucking mosquitoes, to exploding the electrical grid. When witches flood her peaceful hometown for a convention, Dylan is in no shape to protect herself. She's not sure which will happen first—another witch killing her for her powers, or the ruling council punishing her for misuse of magic. 
     
     
     
    Murder strikes quickly. When a witchy gossip columnist dies, the peaceful convention turns riotous. Was the witch murdered for spreading lies, or for stealing magic? And was it coincidence that she ate Dylan's dessert? There is a mansion full of suspects, but only one man who can learn the truth—the hot, aggravating Roman Bane. 
     
     
     
    When the witches are ordered to stay until the murderer is found, Dylan decides Roman needs help, and she's the perfect witch for the job. Not because she's falling for him, nope. She's just being helpful. But to find the killer, Roman and Dylan must navigate a maze of lies, dark magic, and old rivalries. With the killer one magical step ahead, will they discover her identity in time to prevent more death—such as Dylan's?
