The future of the world is in their hands, and they will set it right. Valerie has returned to New York in a time of reckoning. When an enemy declares war on her and her friends, there's no holding back. The whole gang reunites for a fight-fest of epic proportions that promises to determine the fate of their lands once and for all. Honor. Justice. Glory. These are the trademarks of this new world. These are the lynch-pins she and hers have set in place, and they refuse to let anyone try to break them down.

Valerie has found her way full circle, heading back to Europe, where it all began. New enemies await, calling themselves The Gods, and the journey to put an end to the Atlantic pirate problem means dealing with the local trouble makers as well as these false gods. For Cammie and Royland, it also means bringing a boy to his home, and ensuring he has a safe place to live. Meanwhile, Diego and Sgt. Garcia begin their journey to secure their side of America.

The daughter of a vampire and sister of a devil walking, Valerie finds out she has something neither her brother nor her father possesses: she has honor.

But an accident brings her life crashing down around her ears. She is cast down amongst the lowest of the low, little more than a garbage collector. Who did this to her, and for what sinister purpose? Her quest to find out will take her to parts of the city she never knew existed, and open the door to a world she could never have imagined.

A time of reckoning has come for the council of Toro, a bandit city about to burst with corruption and injustice. Valerie refuses to allow her world to rot, and she's brought friends to help her teach the council a lesson. As if that weren't enough, Cammie and Royland have begun to rule the former pirate island. This involves ensuring there are no nearby threats, so while these two might be perfect for each other, they have business to attend to before they can sit back and bask in their newfound positions of power. And down south, New York has risen up out of the sewers it once occupied. It's a new world, one Sandra and the others might just one day soon be able to enjoy without bloodshed.

The New York City-State wakes up and their world has been shaken to its core. The Enforcers have been scattered, but they aren't finished.

However, in the end, it always comes back to heart and determination.

Kismet Knight, a brainy Denver-based psychologist with a stalled career and a nonexistent love life, is about to have her world rocked. Not only does her newest client, Midnight, long to become a vampire, but the teenager insists that a coven of the undead hangs out at a local Goth club. The always-rational Kismet dismisses Midnight's claims as the delusions of an attention-starved girl - until bodies start turning up drained of blood, and the self-proclaimed "hottest" vampire ever to walk the face of the earth enters her office. What's real? What's not?

It’s the beginning of the end. The other Drow princess and queen just don’t know it...yet. It’s business as usual for Brownstone Security. Drow threats or not, they still have work to do.

The government has basically said to leave it be, but after Alison and the team find out what it is, they can’t refuse.

Sometimes even a Brownstone needs to get away from it all. Did the bad guys not get the memo? Alison Brownstone is on vacation. Do not disturb. Oh they disturbed. But when your mom is Shay Carson and she makes two requests of you, you take them seriously. Go on a father-daughter bounty hunt. Go on vacation. How can Alison say no? She can’t. Two Brownstone’s on a bounty. That dude’s going down hard. One and done. The second task takes our Drow princess away from the home base. It’s not like Seattle will burn down because Alison isn’t there, right?

Brownstone Security is hired for what should be a relatively simple job. Protect a courier transporting a valuable painting. Nothing about the job is as it seems, and Alison ends up working with the FBI’s first witch on the case. Can they figure out what’s going on and settle a score before the painting is lost for good? But that’s not all - the CIA is looking into the Tapestry and who they might be allied with.

"Alison bloodied the Tapestry, but has she defeated them? With her foes operating under the radar, Alison thinks she has time for reviewing pet parks and PR jobs, but when the mysterious magic-enhancing drug Ultimate arrives in Seattle, she is faced with a shocking conspiracy that might reach from Las Vegas to Seattle. Sadistic wizards willing to experiment are flocking to town, including a mysterious and lethal woman testing a newer, purer form of Ultimate with no consideration of the human costs.

Tracking dark wizards is hard, but no one is good enough to evade the bounty hunter for long. Unless a friend goes missing first. Shay asks Brownstone Security for help finding Lily, and Alison can’t refuse. The dark wizards can wait. The team is off to Japan in search of the magical being she thinks of as a sister.

Alison and her team have to travel across the world to protect Abigail Wilson, CEO of Aeternum, as she negotiates for mining rights of a mysterious crystal. Drysi Jones comes along for the ride. The simple escort mission turns deadly. They aren’t the only ones interested in the crystal’s power. Dark wizards attack…again. Haven’t they given up yet? Nothing like getting tested by a hail of ammo to see if Drysi is a good fit for Brownstone Security. Together, they must discover the truth behind the crystal’s origin.

Alison and her team are looking to expand Brownstone Security. Good timing too, as it sounds like something is brewing. An unexpected phone call sends Alison to DC where she meets up with an old friend. Danger follows this Brownstone, but it isn’t prepared for her counter.

Dark Wizards gather in Seattle for a meeting. Alison isn't about to let them set up business in her town. Her friends have her back, even if one of them may be a traitor. A dark wizard escapes the raid. Doesn’t he realize a Brownstone won't give up? After he frees the Fremont troll, Alison has to think fast to protect innocents. But wrangling a stone giant wasn’t on her agenda.

What’s the harm in taking a break from protecting the city for one date? Alison is about to find out.... Bounty hunter license in hand and attitude in place, Alison is ready to house-train the city’s malevolent magicals. But even a Brownstone needs a little downtime! Cleansing Seattle of the Eastern Union’s threat was hard business.
