Raike
The Blade Within
Someone kidnapped the wrong girl.
Twelve hours ago Raike didn’t even know she existed. Nor would he have cared. That was until the only clue to her kidnapping lay in a cryptic note foretelling her death - a note Raike has seen once before. Now he’s prepared to lose everything to get her back.
Standing in his way is an alliance of two mercenary companies, a city watch who cares more about stopping Raike than finding the missing girl, and an imperial general who had little to fear – until Raike came along.
A gripping fantasy thriller that will keep your heart racing until the very end.

Keep your enemies close.
One year ago, Raike was forced to target the Captain of the City Watch. Now he’s forced to work alongside him.
With a supernatural killer on the loose, Raike comes to realize that his new partners are no longer investigating the deaths of their own members – they’re investigating Raike himself, and that maybe he’s the one the entire City Watch have been chasing for years.
Last Chance
Sometimes nothing goes according to plan.
Raike reaches a city on the brink of rebellion with one simple mission: locate General Kasera’s last remaining spy and get them out of there as fast as possible.
But Raike's not the only person searching for them. And the more he learns, the more he questions: is he being led into a trap? Is he looking for a double-agent? Have they antagonized they wrong people? And who are they running from?
With time running out, and the city collapsing around him, one thing becomes crystal clear: this job definitely won’t go according to plan.
