Fireborn Law — Janrae Frank

New expanded edition has over 30,000 words restored to it that were dropped for length by the previous publisher. Padruig Caimbeul, the legendary lawgiver known as Fireborn Law, has come to Wolffgard to investigate Malthus Estrobian at the request of the priest, Pandeena Moonbow. Kynyr is not certain whether Caimbeul is friend or foe, especially after he threatens to arrest Kynyr's grandfather, Todd, on a charge of murder to force Kynyr's cooperation. Forced into a reluctant alliance with Caimbeul, Kynyr finds his job increasingly dangerous, both for himself and his beloved Kady Wiggins, the daughter of a tavern owner. Malthus Estrobian, a sa'necari bounty hunter and mercenary, infiltrated Clan Red Wolf to destroy the ruling Redhand family and subjugate the clan on behalf of his queen. He is secretly the faceless genocidal mastermind known to the lycans as the Butchering Serpent. Merissa Redhand became the object of his lustful obsessions and he married her.
