Now Emi must fight to save her men from a Kal’moran warrior who’ll stop at nothing to win.

From a famous tough-guy writer, a collection of shockingly funny stories Ever since she got married, Doris has regretted giving up her singing career.

This collection of Cain’s lighter work shows that if an author is tough it doesn’t mean he can’t crack a smile.
