Fool's Gold

Bladesmith, mechanic, hive queen, godslayer. Maggie Cartwright has a resume few can match, but nothing could have prepared the elf for her latest role: master to a reckless and overeager apprentice.Their first foray into monster slaying is meant to be a cake walk, a chance to hammer out her student’s overconfidence and teach some discipline, but danger rears its head when they discover they’re not the only predators hunting in the mountains, and their competition has wings.Faced with an apocalyptic prophecy and an enemy whose strength defies reason, they’ll need trust if they want to survive. With only three days before the world’s slated to end, it’s do or die in a battle against fate itself....The following work contains depictions of verbal abuse, violence and mortal peril, death, mild gore, and peril to teenagers in a school setting. Reader discretion is advised.
