Black Hat Bureau, Book 1

Remember that old line about how the only way out of the organization is in a pine box?

Well, Rue Hollis spent ten years thinking she had escaped the Black Hat Bureau, no coffin required.

Then her former partner had to go and shatter the illusion by showing up on her doorstep with grim tidings. As much as Rue wants to kick him to the curb, she agrees to hear him out for old times’ sake, and what he says chills her to the bone.

The Silver Stag was the most notorious paranormal serial killer in modern history, and Rue brought him down. Now a copycat has picked up where the Stag left off, and the Bureau wants her on the case. She beat the Stag once. They think she can do it again. But they don’t know she’s given up black magic, and she’s not about to tell them. White witches are prey, and Rue is the hunter, not the hunted. Always.

But can she take down the protégé of the man who almost beat her at her black witch best?

If she wants to keep her new town, her new home, her new life, then she has no choice but to find out.

Hadley has worked her butt off to earn her title as Potentate of Atlanta. All that’s left for her is the gauntlet. A show of prowess for the citizens of Atlanta. A taste of what their new POA can do. She’s ready to dazzle them and bring home the prize.

Until an old friend gets kidnapped. The price of his freedom? Her flunking the gauntlet.

Either she gives up on her dream or her friend.

For Hadley, there’s only one choice.

Welcome to the ferocious world of The Foundling.

This is the unmissable climax to Hailey Edwards's epic The Foundling series, featuring the fiercest heroine in this world or any other: Luce Boudreau.

This has all happened before.For millennia, our world has been the only remaining stone in the proverbial shoe of the universe's most powerful forces. Their continued failure to conquer Earth has led to this: their last chance for success, and for Luce and her coterie, their only chance to save mankind, their own lives, and the world.

As the last war begins, Luce and her mate Cole face danger on every front, from the angels and their all-powerful leader, from the demon inside Luce who will take any chance to break free from her pesky humanity, to the secrets her so-called allies seem to be keeping. Worst of all, they've got to keep finding new babysitters for one small, extremely loyal, far-too-fearless and very determined baby dragon.

At least Luce and Cole are in it together . . . or that's what Cole thinks. For Luce is keeping a secret. She might be able to save the world, but she won't be able to save herself. As the end of days draws near, Luce must do everything she can to hide the truth, for the sake of those she loves . . .
