Fireborn Law

Padruig Caimbeul, the legendary lawgiver known as Fireborn Law, has come to Wolffgard to investigate Malthus Estrobian at the request of the priest, Pandeena Moonbow. Kynyr is not certain whether Caimbeul is friend or foe, especially after he threatens to arrest Kynyr's grandfather, Todd, on a charge of murder to force Kynyr's cooperation. Forced into a reluctant alliance with Caimbeul, Kynyr finds his job increasingly dangerous, both for himself and his beloved Kady Wiggins, the daughter of a tavern owner. Malthus Estrobian, a sa'necari bounty hunter and mercenary, infiltrated Clan Red Wolf to destroy the ruling Redhand family and subjugate the clan on behalf of his queen. He is secretly the faceless genocidal mastermind known to the lycans as the Butchering Serpent. Merissa Redhand became the object of his lustful obsessions and he married her. Complicating it all is the Trickster Goddess Dynanna, whose ability to get people into and out of trouble is both legion and legend - and she has plans for Kynyr.

Janrae Frank is more than a writer, she is a world-builder. Serpent's Quest defies the limitations of genre because it is bigger than any one label can contain. It's an epic adventure, filled with unbridled horrors and sweeping romance, but more than that, Serpent's Quest is populated by characters who are visceral and alive. Serpent's Quest captivates you not only because of its larger than life drama, but because you become invested in the world as a living and breathing place.-Bob Freeman, Author of the Cairnwood Manor series

The prose is tight, the characters utterly believable, and the plot is so fast and slick it threatens to run you over like a steamtrain. An incredible piece of storytelling.-Gareth Owens, author of Fun With Rainbows

Janrae Frank's books are always something I grab the moment I have the chance. They are wonderful reads, well written, dense and richly evocative. She makes the reader see the worlds and characters which she has created and want always to see more of them as well. Her work is brilliant, hard-hitting, and the sort of thing I for one tend to be reading still at 2am since I can't put it down until I know how things are going to turn out.-Lyn McConchie
