Warrior-mage partners Toria Connor and Kane Nalamas have reached the
pinnacle of their mercenary career, known far and wide and offered their
pick of jobs. Mixing business with friendship, they accept a long-term
contract across the ocean in Londinium, even though it means a six-month
separation from their loved ones in Limani. Lady Zhinu Wallace has no
actual need for bodyguards, with her ability to change form into a
dragon, but she wants the status and support of her long-time friends as
she makes her official debut into British noble society.
What should be a simple job, escorting the client to teas, business
meetings, and galas, grows complicated when Zhinu is accused of murder.
Her arrest thrusts Kane and Toria into the mystery of a dead scientist,
a pickpocket with intriguing tattoos, and a magically encoded notebook.
Toria and Kane split up to untangle all the threads that lead to a lab
filled with impossible technology. But to save lives, the partners must
work closer together than ever before-merging not only their magic, but
their very souls
