Publisher's summary
From Amazon bestselling author Coreene Callahan comes a spellbinding novel about a woman born to stand in the breach between parallel worlds where revolution is imminent, honor means little, and the stakes are life and death.
Truly Langford-Bardot has spent her life pretending to be normal. No one knows about the monsters that stalk her sleep, or that she was left inside a cardboard box on the steps of a church as a newborn. Raised in foster care on the tough streets of Philadelphia, she learned to take care of herself and trust no one.
After being forced out of her dream job, she's working a dead-end one when a mysterious stranger arrives with proof she's heiress to a Victorian mansion in a ramshackle neighborhood. But upon entering her new home, Truly accidentally unlocks a door to a magical realm, releasing an ancient evil from its prison-along with a dark family secret.
Hunted by those who rule the mirror kingdom, Truly comes face-to-face with Westvane, the queen's slayer, and is given an ultimatum-help him recapture the monster she set free and kill the queen, or be executed for opening a portal to another world.

After a mysterious fire at their home in Regency London displaces Gentlewitch Edith Rookwood and her now much-reduced family to their ancestral seat of Netherford Hall in Kent, she faces a new threat in the form of her tenant—the chaotic and lovely Poppy Brightwell. The repairs on the old pile are prohibitive, Edith's standing is uncertain, and her inheritance has been challenged by a forgotten American branch of the family. It is clear she needs to marry, soon and wisely—but the lively girl from Harrow House gradually comes to occupy all of her thoughts.

On Her sacred orders, the Archangel Medrion is tasked with breaking my spirit and casting me into the pit. Most angels would hate tormenting and humiliating one of their own, but the smile on his face as he works burns itself into my mind. My resistance is about to break, when something goes horribly wrong. Instead of the pit, I Fall to Earth, only to find myself in the hands of a Tyrant worse than Lucifer. He's dangerous, powerful, and the scent of corruption and sin roll off him, drawing me inexorably in.

Being a psychic in the small seaside town of Fox Harbor is challenging enough, but winter months are brutal. Not that using his clairvoyant abilities to hunt down lost pets isn't thrilling, but Lorenzo wouldn't mind a tiny bit more excitement in his life. Be careful what you wish for? Things get more stimulating when the charismatic Dr. Ian Thatcher takes a romantic interest in him. Unfortunately, their promising evening takes a ghastly turn when an old man dies on Lorenzo's doorstep, after warning Lorenzo his life is in danger.

My life is a living nightmare at the hands of my stepmother and her daughter. Each day is filled with abuse, both verbal and physical. Why? All because I was born an omega and not them. They make sure with each day that passes, I know just how little they think of me. There's one shining light in my life… my best friend Sasha.

Sulien ap Gwien was seventeen when the Jarnish raiders came. Had she been armed when they found her, she could have taken them all. As it was, it took six of them to subdue her. She will never forgive them. Thus begins her story-a story that takes her back to her family, with its ancient ties to the Vincan empire that once ruled in Tir Tanagiri, and forward to Caer Tanaga, where the greatest man of his time, King Urdo, struggles to bind together the squabbling nobles and petty princes into a unified force that will drive out the barbarian invader and restore the King's Peace.

Running to Summerpoint to avoid my failed love life may have seemed drastic, but I'd just inherited a house from a distant relative. The timing was perfect, almost like magic. But the cottage is in need of repairs, the place is in the middle of a forest, and I'm not used to small towns. Then I meet my new contractors. Sexy doesn't begin to describe them. The flirting flows easily, and while they're a well-established couple, it seems they may have room for more. Even better, these guys are quickly getting to be a lot more than just friends.

Interesting beginning.....
4.25 Stars ⭐️
I have read and enjoyed the Dragon Fury Series by Ms. Callahan, so when I saw this new book that was the beginning of a new series, I thought, "why not?"
This new series introduces us to two new characters - Truly - who is a woman, raised in foster care, living as a private investigator. And Westvane or West, who we learn little by little, has been kept captive by a Queen and who holds another title....that of Slayer.
We get to meet the two of them when Truly comes of age and learns that for a mortal who had never ever known any different - she is NOT human. She is, in fact, a Door Master - and that means she is a threat to the current queen of another realm. The queen has exterminated Truly's entire family line, yet somehow Truly was sheltered and therefore allowed to live and grow up.
When West is sent after Truly, they both realise that they have reasons to work together. There are also things going on in the world that are being shown to the reader, but there is still more that we do not yet understand.
This was a fun and easy read. It was east to like both Truly and West, while at the same time rooting against the Queen.
I am definitley interested in the storyline and will be eager to continue to book 2.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
