Laura Babler is not the adventurous type, she prefers to know exactly what’s coming. So when she’s forced to drive cross-country to her own wedding—alone, anxious, and scared shitless of the autobahn—she’s already far outside her comfort zone. Then she meets Sir Cat. A dramatic, scruffy black cat out for revenge derails her journey before it even starts. Her simple overnight road trip spirals out of control, with one disaster leading to another, and the duo find themselves stranded in the middle of nowhere.

Fate stamped her file: rejected. Fawn Seaborne stamped it: watch me. After ten months at Pierce Charming Academy, Agent 555 has no mission, no rank, and a discharge letter sealed in gold. Her father —the general who rebuilt half of civilization —calls her a liability. Dom, the academy’s sharpest knife, calls her a scared little fawn. Fate, apparently, doesn’t want her at all. So she steals a seat on an alpha drop. The world waiting for her is no training sim. It is a cursed north of Viking kings, dragon witches, and a target everyone else was sent to seduce: Rok Magnus, Destroyer of Men.

Three gripping investigations — where the stakes rise, the cases darken, and the truth becomes harder to uncover.

Was this the work of a poison-pen? Or of a poisoner?

At first glance, there’s no evidence of a crime. No signs of force. No clear suspect. But something about it doesn’t sit right. As Walker digs deeper, small inconsistencies begin to emerge — subtle details that suggest the victims didn’t leave by choice after all. Waiting. Watching. Choosing the perfect moment. Because what better place to disappear…than somewhere no one is really looking? A place built on movement. On anonymity. On trust. And at the centre of it all is someone who doesn’t see themselves as a killer… But as a saviour.
