An assassin with outlawed, magical abilities will do anything to get their kidnapped sisters back in this dystopic-fantasy standalone, perfect for fans of perfect for fans of Arcane and Iron Widow.

Mercy has no place here.

On Trinity, a metal world where the privileged live in the skies and the rest fight for water below, you do what you can to survive.

18-year-old Val knows this better than anyone. They’ve sacrificed everything to provide for their younger sisters. Using their outlawed teleportation powers, they've become the most infamous assassin-for-hire on Trinity, known as the Butcher.

No one should be able to trace the Butcher to Val. But when a gang retaliates by kidnapping Val's sisters and killing Dani, Val's only friend, it means that someone has to know the truth.

Desperate and completely alone, Val has no one to turn to but their ex-childhood best friend turned vigilante thief, Orion. He broke their heart, but he owes them.

But as Val fights for the return of their sisters, they start to realize there might be something much bigger at play... something that could upend everything they’ve ever known about Trinity.

Val’s journey will take them from a maximum security prison transport to the headquarters of the most powerful gang on Trinity, and all the way to the Gate of Heaven. Each more heavily guarded than the last.

Good thing the Butcher has never blinked at an extra casualty.

About the Author

Becca Coffindaffer (they/any) grew up on Star Wars, Star Trek, fantastical movies and even more fantastical books. As a kid, they started scribbling stories in weathered, well-loved spiral notebooks, and now they write books about magic and politics, spaceships, imaginary worlds, and people walking away from explosions in slow motion. These days they live in Kansas with their family, surrounded by a lot of books, a lot of video games and two very spoiled dogs. They’re the author of the CROWNCHASERS duology and THE BLOODY AND THE DAMNED, as well as short stories in MERMAIDS NEVER DROWN and CRITICAL ROLE: STORIES UNTOLD.
