The seeds of a legend grow in tales told around campfires and in whispers in dark corners of taverns. Magdalena Verran is a legend, a hunter who never misses her mark or loses a bounty. But now that legend is about to come to an end. For over three-hundred years, she's harvested souls as an indentured servant to a pair of bickering gods. With her team of horses and an impressive magical blue scythe for a hand, Mags is poised to deliver the last soul she owes, then her debt will be settled and the gods can go pick on someone else for a change. But life-even one centuries old-is never that simple and reaping leaves behind scars on the families and the harvester. Before she can turn in her scythe, Mags's past transgressions catch up to her in the form of a trio of young criminal wannabes. Saving them just might be a way to balance her sins. But between the involvement of the gods and the trio's own recklessness, Magdalena finds her skills-and patience-tested. Somehow Mags must find a way to avoid angering the gods further, complete her new bounty without adding more blackmarks to her soul, and save the trio of young adventurers who seem determined to wind up dead. Pulled in multiple directions, Mags's legendary skills are put to the test. One misstep and she endangers the lives of her young companions and her own soul.

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.

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.
