With a Golden Sword

Book 2 of the DFZ Changeling series

Standing up to Victor was only the beginning.

Three weeks ago, Lola put her soul on the line to save her sister and stop an abusive blood mage from making himself a god. But while she managed to derail the worst of Victor’s plans, the rest of the world still sees her old master as the hero. To make matters worse, the Nightmare King Alberich has entirely escaped his prison and is now leading the Wild Hunt on a campaign of fear and chaos through the skies of Europe.

With Alberich playing the villain, it’s only a matter of time before Victor convinces all of humanity that his dark magic is their only hope. Lola’s not about to let him get his dirty hands on that kind of power, but while she’s free to fight him, Simon and the Black Rider are still trapped under the blood mage’s boot. Lola will have to break them both out before she can take Victor down, but her former master’s plans are far from finished. He’s playing a game none of them can predict for a prize no one yet understands, and once all of his pieces are in place, the future of the world will balance on the edge of a golden sword.
