Megan’s world has shattered. The love of her life is gone, leaving her hollow and consumed by grief. In the midst of this despair, one venomous remark from Merlin—yes, that Merlin—sends her over the edge, pushing her into a reckless new purpose: bounty hunting across the Splinters of reality with her red dragon, Goch.

One target fuels her obsession: Mordred and his dragon. It’s the only thing keeping her from drowning in sorrow. But the hunter’s guild has left Mordred’s bounty up for grabs. Worse, as a realm walker, Mordred’s impossible to track across the splinters.

Out of options, she grudgingly teams up with Merlin. —except she loathes him with the fire of a million burning suns. Then Mordred makes a move, reaching out to both of them.

The hunt is back on, but Merlin’s shadowy past is catching up, turning an already dangerous mission into a deadly game.

Enter Kill-Thulu (formally Felix Nash)—professional hitman and “destroy anything/everything” for hire—who, over two-thousand years ago, started killing for the gods on the day of the Apocalypse and “bought” his immortality in the process. Foul-mouthed, perverted, and murder-happy to a fault, “Thulu” is a man who’s traded most of his humanity for the classic dream: sex, blood, and an eternity to chase even more sex and blood.

Open on Thulu as he “innocently” (yeah, right) goes about his routine. That this routine is laced in blood, tears, and miles-and-miles of shattered glass doesn’t make it any less normal for him, but a new and startling twist comes in the form of the absurd: a killing contract. Understandably irked by this “inconvenience,” Thulu begins a vulgar tirade to find answers, casually ignoring a lost child and a nun with a very serious “personal health” issue in the process.
