He's relentless. He's aggressive. His armor is scarred to hell.
Toth Krag is infamous among bounty hunters. Nobody has ever seen his face and lived to tell the tale. He doesn't fail. He doesn't quit. And he doesn't take prisoners. But maybe he's getting soft. For once, he showed mercy, and no good deed goes unpunished, so now he's tracking the deadbeats who run Volant's Fabulous Spectacle.

...Forsaken. Foresworn. Ferocious.
Ambrose "Slay" Slater never thought he'd end up this way. His lover left him for his best friend and while he was distracted, grieving that loss, the Gols captured him, dragged him off to their infernal underground city, where he's been a prisoner ever since.

This 'human being' is not the Tiralan match he was looking for.

Trude Burgess has eyes for only one person.
Her entire life, she never loved anyone other than Viggo Calder. She watched as he courted the perfect lady, wooed and won her. And then...he lost that ideal love.

Roguish. Reckless. Unreliable.
Raff Pineda has a certain reputation among the Animari. He’s the one to call if there’s a party starting, not the man to rely on when all hell breaks loose.

Raff prefers to live fast and hard and keep his heart hidden, but a certain Eldritch princess won’t fall for his
