Sword and Shadow

Vampires are immune to many things. Apparently love isn’t one of them. Assigned to monitor a backwater version of Earth, Raven enjoys his job immensely. Play at being a native, watch for operatives of the voracious Cen Empire, and keep an eye out for evil mages. Not too difficult for the undead hero of the Cen War. It’s almost like a vacation. Unfortunately, when he stumbles upon a cache of advanced weapons, he is forced to report that fact back to headquarters, who in turn send him an agent trained in such matters?the vibrant, vivacious, and utterly aggravating Valerie Winn?to deal with the problem. On her first solo assignment for the Technological Activities Unit (TAU), Val can’t help but take her job seriously. But dealing with the legendary Raven’s maddening disrespect for any rules but his own pushes her patience to the breaking point. Even though they strike sparks from one another, they have to learn to work together. The seemingly simple assignment turns out to be much more important than anyone realized. The fate of a thousand versions of Earth might well hang in the balance. Part of this title was previously released as part of a series. Warning: Warning: Adult Language, some violent scenes.
