BIG SCORE, LITTLE DRAGON, LOTS OF TROUBLE
MAGIC HAS BEEN OUTLAWED FOR CENTURIES . . .
. . . but when Cimas life choices limit her gangs avenues for making a profit, theyre forced to scavenge in a haunted corner of the city, where they unearth what they believe to be life-changing loot. Then it all comes apart: the hoard theyve recovered is something more than material treasure, its potent magic from before the cataclysm that brought the old world to ruin. Will the plague of magic theyve unleashed destroy her chosen family, her city, and the world Or will the recovery of the items her gang fenced lead Cima to become the guardian of a new age
Praise for Marisa Wolf:
Marisa Wolf is, hands down, my favorite new voice in science fiction and fantasy. Her trademark blend of smart Alec characters with deep, complicated emotions and convoluted loyalties combines with fast-paced plots and unexpected twists to pull me in and leave me wide awake, breathless, desperately wishing for more at 1 AM. Every. Single. Time. Shes a superstar on the rise and I am so excited to watch it happen! Kacey Ezell, Maj USAF (Ret.), author of Magelight
Praise for Beyond Enemies:
Marisa Wolfs Beyond Enemies . . . Humor blends with powerful confrontations in this gripping saga of engagement that works on a different level than most genre reads. Midwest Book Review
Marisa Wolf writes SFF that ends with hope, no matter how hard the circumstances. She has a number of coauthored novels in shared universes, solo novels in her own worlds, and a plethora of short stories. All contain various levels of snark.
After several years living on the road in an RV, Marisa, her husband, and their high-maintenance rescue dog are currently based in the woods of New Englandbut it's anyone's guess where in the country she is at any given moment. More at www.marisawolf.net
