She walked away from power once. She won't make that mistake twice.

Tetra Dupont earned her throne through ritual combat and rejected it to build Fort Caerleon—sanctuary for the desperate, family for the broken. Port Smogdale's outcasts finally found safety.

Someone declared war on everything she protects.

The attacks coordinate with military precision. Gang violence erupts. Sabotage nearly kills a captain's daughter. Selkie hunters emerge from the river. Each strike targets the vulnerable, and Tetra recognizes the strategy—this conspiracy planned for months.

She knows this playbook. She killed ancient royalty. She understands calculated violence.

Her found family prepares for war: a judgmental ex-revolutionary, a cop willing to burn his badge, a selkie carrying deadly secrets. They'll stand with her against enemies who underestimated what mercy conceals.

Grab this explosive urban fantasy where protection demands blood. Tetra will win this war. The only mystery: how many bodies scatter in her wake, and how many belong to her own?
