They Met in a Tavern (Glintchasers Book 1)

The gang is getting back together…and they really wish they weren’t. 

Seven years ago, the Starbreakers were at the top of their game. From humble beginnings as a group of teenaged adventurers, they’d risen to become the most renowned freelancers in the kingdom.

All of that changed the day the city of Relgen died. Broken by their failure, the Starbreakers went their separate ways, trying to find their place in a world that no longer wanted them.

They all did their best.

Brass carried on as a solo act, determined to prove against all evidence to the contrary that his best days aren’t behind him. Focusing on her most marketable skills, Snow took up contract killing. Church found solace as a town’s spiritual leader. Angel opened a bar, putting as much distance between her and her old life as she could. And after years spent wallowing in his workshop, Phoenix has finally found a semblance of happiness in a new life with his wife and daughter.

However, when a massive price is put on all of their heads, and some of the most dangerous bounty hunters from across the land come to claim it, all of their new lives are thrown into disarray, and everyone around them is caught in the crossfire.

To protect what they’ve built and find out who’s out to get them, the Starbreakers will have to reunite, and relearn how to work together. But a lot can change in seven years. And if mending old wounds was easy, they would have done it a long time ago.
