Jill E Breeze

Worn out after decades of packing steel and raising hell, Viv, the orc barbarian, cashes out of the warrior’s life with one final score. A forgotten legend, a fabled artifact, and an unreasonable amount of hope lead her to the streets of Thune, where she plans to open the first coffee shop the city has ever seen. However, her dreams of a fresh start filling mugs instead of swinging swords are hardly a sure bet. Old frenemies and Thune’s shady underbelly may just upset her plans. To finally build something that will last, Viv will need some new partners, and a different kind of resolve.

Valerie Kearie is still dealing with the issues behind her brother's pain. Unfortunately, another group has decided to "elevate" the poor, the weak, and the easily susceptible and help them achieve greatness. Or Death. They do not care which. Introducing a new drug, Ambrosia, to the streets of America provides the organization with money and cannon fodder, so what's the downside? Valerie and Jake must work with a foreign agency to outwit, outthink, and out gun the mastermind. Can Jake and Valerie help and still keep Valerie's secret?
