Unlikely Allies - Paperback

The job was supposed to be simple. Locate my old commanding officer, break him out of an underground military black site, and portal back to Azogrim before the dust settled.

But nothing is ever that simple. That's a lesson I've come to learn the hard way. With the multiverse tearing itself apart and the ancient gates growing more unstable by the day, we need Colonel Levine to help us level the playing field. Armed with dwarven tech, an ancient hedge witch, and Leylandir at my side, I thought we were unstoppable.

Except the extraction turns into an ambush.

When the facility goes into lockdown and the firefight turns bloody, I make the only tactical choice I have left: I hold the line so my team — and the man I love — can escape. But my capture isn't just a victory for the US military. General Rind doesn't want to make me a martyr on Earth. Instead, he extradites me to Earendor, straight into the hands of my worst enemy.

Who'd ever believe elves and humans would make plausible bedfellows in this war?

Leylandir will burn realms to the ground to save me. But if he walks into his father's snare, he loses his freedom forever.

I can't let him pay that price. I'm just going to have to break myself out first.

The relentless fifth installment in the War for Magic series.
