FBI Special Agent Malcolm Gee, who specializes in hunting serial killers, is on vacation when he discovers a decapitated head. He wants to get away from death and thinks he’s found the woman of his dreams, so he’s happy to leave the investigation to the police. But circumstances intervene. A friend, Skipper, reveals that the head belongs to his sister and begs Malcolm to search for her killer. Reluctantly, Malcolm undertakes an unofficial investigation that uncovers government malfeasance and more gruesome cartel-style executions. His girlfriend, Valerie, having second thoughts about their relationship, complicates the hunt for the murderer and the mastermind behind it all. While Malcolm juggles multiple priorities, the number of victims seeking a voice, an avenger, rises.

Last of the Völsung line of kings descended from Odin, Sigurd is one of the elite Sjórúlfar—the fearsome Sea Wolves of southern Norway. Endowed with the divine blood of the wolf, he seeks glory at the Sólhjarta Summer Solstice Tournament to avenge his father’s death.

Brynhildr, daughter of the Raven King, is the Sun Falcon shieldmaiden and gifted seeress who has glimpsed her fate as a Valkyrie in a seiðr vision. When her father decrees she must wed the tournament’s champion, she summons Freyja for guidance—only to learn her future is bound to Sigurd.

As the Norns tighten the intricate threads of fate, Brynhildr must guide Sigurd toward his destiny as a dragonslayer—by defying the web of wyrd and incurring the wrath of Odin.

When his best friend’s sister vanishes with a man known for his drug habit, Minneapolis private investigator Lyle Dahms heads to Seattle to bring her home. But the city he finds is nothing like the postcards—its rain-soaked streets hide a growing homelessness crisis, predatory dealers, and police who don’t want an outsider stirring up trouble.

Searching for the missing woman, Dahms leans on unlikely allies: an elderly Filipino food bank volunteer with sharp instincts and a handful of strangers whose loyalties shift like the weather. Each lead pulls him deeper into a world ruled by desperation, where trust is scarce, and danger waits around every corner.

Far from home and increasingly out of his depth, Dahms must decide how much he’s willing to risk to keep a promise. Because the truth behind the young woman’s disappearance is darker than he imagined—and finding her may cost him far more than he came to give.
