But before he can face that, Darran must confront the monsters in his quarters...and the one in the forest, purring his name.

I came to the guild to keep it from tearing the realm apart. Now I’m covered in wolf hair, running errands for meddling gods, and down one tunic, thanks to a tiger’s claws. My nerdy assistant keeps a calendar that could run an empire. The clingy wolfgirl has no concept of personal space. And the shy bunny alchemist?

Every day tests my diplomacy, my strength, and my willpower…and that last one’s running dangerously low.
