Striker

Life couldn't get more complicated for Joshua P. Striker, but he's okay with it that way. It's been over a year since the catastrophic events following the Vharyien Races, and the Fae Thalam rebellion seems to be cruising along just fine, apart from a few bumps and bruises and management issues. But things start to turn sour very quickly when the assassin Arran Heyri unleashes hundreds of hellish monsters to keep the mages busy--even bringing back an old enemy only Josh seems able to counteract. And if that wasn't enough, Josh's life back on Earth just keeps getting messier and messier as his parents plan on separating. If he can't find a way to keep being the glue for their little group, their enemies might actually get a step ahead of them, and Josh knows he can't let that happen if he wants to protect his friends. Meanwhile, Heyri finds himself with problems of his own. Mainly, finding a replacement bounty hunter, handling the Registrar and the elusive Nerovian family, finding a way to kill the mages, thwarting the Ienothin Vigilante, and helping the Inperiate uncover whichever ducal family has betrayed them. Which is a lot more trouble than it sounds. Things are about to take a darker turn in Nyriach...and it's possible neither side of the war is prepared for what's to come."
