Chasing a missing crown jewel into a cursed frontier, two mismatched partners are running out of luck.

Still branded "Red scum" by her own neighbors, Emery Morgan isn't anyone's idea of a hero. But as one of the state's most expendable assets, she doesn't get to say no — which is how she ends up crossing into the Enchanted Flatlands with her sharp-tongued ex-god partner Loki to retrieve a stolen crown jewel before it sparks a political firestorm.

The Flatlands look peaceful enough. Wide skies. Sunlit grasslands. Two nomadic tribes who claim to want nothing to do with each other.

They're lying.

When a brutal curse strikes the locals and all eyes turn to the two outsiders from Atlantis, finding the jewel becomes the least of Emery's problems. She and Loki must untangle the magic behind the curse, survive a furious tribe that's decided they're the enemy — and figure out what the frontier is hiding before it swallows them whole.

Curses in the Light continues the Atlantis Outcasts series with sharp banter, deadly magic, and a mystery where not everyone who walks in the light is innocent.
