    Summary

    In a heated duel at the height of a losing battle, Jaina casts a last-ditch portal. It's meant to send the Warchief to the center of Alliance command, where she can be subdued and put on trial for her crimes. Unfortunately the portal sends them to another plane entirely—where Jaina, stranded in unfamiliar wilderness and crippled by the magical backlash, finds herself dependent on the assistance of an experienced ranger.

    Mutual need allows them to hammer out a truce, but even that can't keep them from falling back into old habits; once through the shock, neither of them wants to rely on the other, and they're both quite willing to lie, double cross, or otherwise manipulate the other to achieve their own ends. The tentative ceasefire seems doomed to failure, until contact with the residents of this strange new planet makes it horrifyingly clear exactly what kind of civilization they have stumbled upon.

    Suddenly, everything has become simpler—and infinitely more complicated.

    (Or: An archmage and a banshee take it upon themselves to fix Gor by any means necessary.)

    Summary

    Jessamine isn’t used to getting her hands dirty. There are people on staff at Dunwall Tower whose entire job is to make sure it never happens – but she isn’t in Dunwall Tower any more. Her Spymaster is slaughtering her people, and she’s in the gutter far below, trying to fathom a way to reach up so she can bury him in the diseased muck he created. Six months ago, she died. But she still has a job to do, a daughter to find. If she has to turn her hands black with the Void to save her family and her Empire, she will do it.
