    In the towering city of Avalon, where ambition reigns and secrets shimmer beneath glass skyscrapers, Ashlynn Sinclair is a rising analyst with a haunted past—and a dangerous bloodline. On the night of a rare Blood Moon, a long-buried power awakens inside her, marked by a glowing sigil and the return of a mysterious doppelgänger she has seen since childhood. Her world unravels when Marcus Wren, the enigmatic CEO of Vault Enterprises, reveals the truth: she is Unbound—one of three beings born in each cycle, neither human nor divine, but something in between. 
    As Ashlynn begins her transformation, she is drawn into an ancient Trial meant to test the strength of the Unbound. Standing beside her is Adrian, a calm and calculating guardian from her past who holds answers to questions she never dared ask—about her family's fiery death, her supernatural heritage, and the war between factions fighting to control the thinning Veil between worlds. 
    Together, Ashlynn and Adrian navigate a shadowy underworld of secret vaults, corrupted corporations, and magical societies like the Black Quorum and Sanctum. The emergence of the third Unbound—a powerful, unstable entity tied to them both—threatens to tip the balance toward chaos. As Avalon teeters on the brink of becoming a battleground for the forgotten gods and their mortal proxies, Ashlynn must choose: suppress the power that could destroy her, or embrace the flame that could make her a legend. 
    But trust is a rare currency in Avalon, and every ally carries an agenda. As betrayals unravel and old pacts shatter, Ashlynn, Adrian, and the remnants of a fractured resistance must face the greatest truth of all—sometimes the real enemy is the part of yourself you cannot escape.

    Cash Blackbear, a young Ojibwe woman and occasional sleuth, is back on the case after a man is found dead on a rural Minnesota farm in the next installment of the acclaimed Native crime series. 
     
    Minnesota, 1970s: It’s spring in the Red River Valley and Cash Blackbear is doing fieldwork for a local farmer—until she finds him dead on the kitchen floor of the property’s rented farmhouse. The tenant, a Native field laborer, and his wife are nowhere to be found, but Cash discovers their young daughter, Shawnee, cowering under a bed. The girl, a possible witness to the killing, is too terrified to speak. 
     
    In the wake of the murder, Cash can’t deny her intuitive abilities: she is suspicious of the farmer’s grieving widow, who offers to take in Shawnee temporarily. While Cash is scouring White Earth Reservation for Shawnee’s missing mother—whom Cash wants to find before the girl is put in the foster system—another body turns up. Concerned by the escalating threat, Cash races against the clock to figure out the truth of what happened in the farmhouse. 
     
    Broken Fields is a compelling, atmospheric read woven with details of American Indian life in northern Minnesota, abusive farm labor practices and women’s liberation.
