The Loyal Friend: The truth would change everything. But no one knows it. Except for Liv Beaufont and those who have been hiding it for centuries.

They put her on a case that is sure to keep her busy…if not get her killed. Werewolves are real. And they have their own secrets. Liv ventures to the village where werewolves originated and learns who she can trust and who needs to be taken out. But doing so won’t be easy. And just when Liv thinks she’s finally conquered evil, an old nemesis comes back to haunt her. The Stubborn Advocate: Some people won’t rest until they get to the bottom of things. That’s Liv Beaufont. And some want to kill her for her persistence. To try and keep Liv from finding out the truth, Adler brings back an ancient evil that the Warriors exterminated long ago. Now, alone, Liv will have to battle monsters so dark, they frighten even the strongest magical creatures. But she can’t be deterred from her quest for the truth. While trying to take down evil beasts, Liv also works to uncover why mortals can’t see magic. Her journey takes her to the last place she wants to go: where her parents died. What she finds, changes everything. The Unrelenting Fighter: When saving the world is your job, it’s impossible to get a day off. Liv Beaufont wouldn’t want one anyway. It’s a good thing because being Father Time’s only employee is demanding. Liv can hardly believe she has to carry a chicken around while fighting villains. However, the chicken is supremely important. She just doesn’t know how. Or what the bird wants to eat… And then there’s Sophia’s dragon egg. Whoever stole it is going to pay big time when Liv gets ahold of them. In the meantime, Subner helps Liv to track down the elf who made Inexorabilis. Unlocking the memories Liv’s mother sealed into the sword is crucial. What she finds is supposed to change everything. Mortals have never been more at risk. Adler Sinclair wants them gone, once and for all. However, there’s a long list of things Liv Beaufont won’t allow to happen. First, mortals can’t die. Secondly, the brainwashing has to stop. And thirdly, the person who killed her family is going to pay. Badly. The stakes have never been higher.
