The five book series is complete!
Mixing mystery, magic, humor, and heart-pounding action, The Sentinels is sure to delight fans of The Dresden Files and The Iron Druid Chronicles who may just find a new favorite hero in Rune Russell.
Book 1
If I've learned one thing, it's not to play with fire—magical or otherwise.
The first time I used my power, I wound up burning down a mansion. The second time, an inter-dimensional elemental possessed my friend Jo. Now, with a sorcerer and a gang of werebeasts intent on ensuring that Jo's soul is consumed, I'll have to use my magic once more. Well, I guess third time's the charm, right?
Book 2
I recommend not falling in love with your would-be executioner. Of course, I don’t necessarily practice what I preach.
I have to figure out why several orphans have been possessed by elementals and stop shifter criminals who want to destroy the city’s prison before it’s even built. But my worst problem is that Sash, equal parts beautiful and deadly, is immune to my goofy charm and appears determined to carry out her bloody assignment. I fear I’m going to find out how much loves hurts.
Book 3
I’m not a coward—it’s just not everyone is meant to be a hero.
My fire abilities provide great power, but they also mean I’m a danger to those close to me and to the world. Hard-won battles are always been accompanied by dire consequences. Now, the supernatural war has broken out of the underworld and into broad daylight. Fire-wielding terrorists dominate the news, a specialized police force is imprisoning supernaturals without trial, and the kidnapping of the mayor has brought the entire city to boiling point.
But sometimes the only way to win is not to play.
Book 4
I know everyone makes mistakes; it’s just that mine end up capable of razing a city to the ground.
A gigantic dragon holds court on the upper levels of a business-district skyscraper (dragons always know where the treasure is located). The fire-breathing serpent turned an entire prison complex into metal sludge, and it holds the country hostage via telepathic control of thousands of supernaturally-powered minions. The city is paralyzed by fear, and city officials are beginning to bend to the creature’s will.
I’m willing to make amends. I’m just understandably hesitant about being used as dragon-bait.
Book 5
I finally have to ask myself this question: What if I’m the bad guy?
With fire magic wielded by both sides in a civil war, my home city is suffering like never before. I don’t know what a Dawnsday Device is, but no type of doomsday device is going to be good news.
As the last fire sentinel, the potency of my abilities is not in any doubt; whether I’m using those abilities for good or evil very much is.
