Delilah Monroe has had a good run.

She''s built a vast, successful criminal network that reaches far beyond the Appalachian hills she calls home. She believes she''s made peace with her deeds and lives by her own code, protecting her home and playing the game as best as she can. When a new player enters the game, the rules change, and Del finds herself struggling to maintain control while protecting her home and her people. As she navigates a new business deal and confrontations with new adversaries escalate, the changing rules force her to face the fact that all things end, and eventually, we all have to pay for the choices we make along the way.

Rack and Ruin is the genre-blending end to Del''s story, started in Tooth and Nail, and continued in The Hard Truth.

Delilah Monroe is desperate for a change. She lives in a trailer with her cousin and spends her days working at the local grocery store. She's worked hard to get out of her dead-end job in a backwoods Appalachian town and make a better life for herself, away from her dysfunctional family and trappings of a desperate small town. When someone she cares about makes a terrible mistake, Del must choose between helping him or helping herself. Along the way she must negotiate a world of vice and crime inhabited by all kinds of monsters, some supernatural and some mundane. Her choices make her wonder if she's ever really known who she is or what she's capable of doing. Can she transcend her situation, or will she be permanently drawn into a life of violence and crime? Tooth and Nail is a genre-blending tale of family, crime, and desperation.

Emily Wells has a gift.

Death.

It comes in handy in a post-apocalyptic world filled with murderous plague-infected monsters, the undead, and people that defy description. She’s at the top of her game, dealing death in a lucrative spectacle of violence that placates and entertains the masses. When a new player enters the game with a shocking revelation that threatens the carefully maintained status quo, Emily is forced to make a choice. The decision she makes could change the world forever and be deadly for herself and everyone she loves.
