Synopsis

With stakes this high, humanity doesn't need a hero. They need someone who can win.**Series complete! (5 books.)** Willem Jaantzen didn't ask to be a hero. He just wants to keep his family safe in the shifting sands of Bulari's underground—and to get the city's upper crust to acknowledge just how far he's come since his days as an orphaned street kid. With his businesses thriving and his dark past swept into the annals of history, it looks like he has everything he could ever ask for. Until, that is, his oldest rival turns up murdered and the blame—and champagne—begins to flow.It turns out Thala Coeur died as she lived: sowing chaos. And when a mysterious package bearing her call sign shows up on Jaantzen's doorstep, he and his family are quickly swallowed up in a web of lies, betrayals, and interplanetary politics. It'll only take one stray spark to start another civil war in the underworld, and Jaantzen's going to have to pull out every play from his notorious past if he wants to keep his city from going up in flames.Jaantzen never wanted to be a hero, but that might just be a good thing. Because a hero could never stop the trouble that's heading humanity's way.DOUBLE EDGED is the first book of the Bulari Saga, a five book series featuring gunfights, dinner parties, explosions, motorcycle chases, underworld intrigue, and a fiercely plucky found family who have each other's backs at every step. Perfect for fans of The Expanse, Firefly, and The Godfather.Download Double Edged and start the adventure today.

Goodreads review by Andrew

I was drawn into this story immediately, its prologue was exciting and well-written and set up a very interesting heist and overall plot. Some parts of the prologue came back into the story proper, but some parts - *cough-cough-cough-Oriol-cough-cough* - took way too long and others just didn't seem......more

Goodreads review by Colline

I love the cover art of this novel, don’t you? And while I was reading the story, I realised that the art suited the tale perfectly. The cover art and the words inside give a sense of another world – another world which is just as gritty as ours can be and which also contains people that are greedy......more

Goodreads review by Riju

This is definitely the best work (amongst those that I have read) involving the world and the characters created by the author who make up her Durga system. In it, some old enemies return to haunt and endanger the world Willem Jaantzen had carefully and painstakingly built around himself and his exte......more

Goodreads review by Natasha

This is Book 1 following the Durga System series, which I've not read, well, not yet anyway. The characters are amazing. They are rich and unique and well-rounded and so full of life that I actually think of them when I have stopped reading (to feed my family, for example). The world created is profo......more
