Petrion was moving his hands frantically when Haslan turned again to look at the camp. For a moment Haslan didn't understand what the ranger was trying to signal, but then realized there were a lot more horses in the camp than Petrion reported. More horses meant more brigands. The odds which weren't great to begin with had just gotten a whole lot worse, and it was too late to call off the attack. Yesterday they were criminals. Today they're more. Coerced by the Duchess into waging a secret war on the goblins, these mismatched strangers must don their armor and strike at the goblins without being discovered. If they're captured, their own country will deny them and kill them. The preparation is hard, the journey harder, the odds frightening. The goal, however—stopping a costly war that could devastate the entire Duchy—is worth any cost. But they're up against more than they bargained for. The goblins are showing far more intelligence and cunning than they once did. Someone else is behind the goblin attacks, someone who wants a war. Slowly the misfits will pick up the threads that will lead them to discover a conspiracy that threatens the entire realm. They must learn to work as a team, overcome the shadows of their pasts, and stand strong against the rising threat.

Come on, you two, someone called from the crowd. "We didn't get out of your way just to see you dance together." "Maybe they're going to kiss and make up," another one called. Petrion knew they were trying to goad him, but it wouldn't work. Then maybe, judging from Berinda's expression, it would. She was closing the distance on him, and the circle wasn't dropping back anymore. He stepped away from the human wall, dodging a quick left to get some room to fight. In Timothy Scott's sequel to Misfits, Debtors, Drunkards, & Thieves, the camaraderie that temporarily united the squad has dissolved into chaos as they struggle for power and control. With tempers flaring, fists flying, and a battle looming, they must find a way to work together, or the goblins will destroy them. Is there a way to overcome the scars of their past and come together, or will their anger, resentment, and pride make them easy pickings for the goblins? If they can defeat the raiders again, they intend to infiltrate the goblin kingdom. The border is heavily patrolled, and goblin trackers are some of the best. It will take teamwork and more to get twelve miles into goblin territory, breech an enemy fort, and bring to justice the man who has sold out his race to the goblins.

Those who raised their voices in protest were banished--skyriders, the men who rode the dragons--vanished to the distant mountains of the Mirror.Now, Treasa, the daughter of exiles, seeker of secrets, dreams with the lair's dragons, her heart torn by her love for the winged creatures and a man who masters them. She must choose her path with care. The lair's black -garbed riders sense the dragon's growing savagery. Yet one, Conall, longs to grasp their power, subdue them and soar, unaware that winged flight, merged in harmony, is his for the asking. Then, a curved talon rends Conall's flesh and dragon scale, rattling against white ribs and the world shifts. As hearts once parted bind, Terasa and Conall join forces to fight for the dragon's freedom. Alliances form, old myths are revealed and new myths are born.
