Gunslingers and cowgirls in a world of magic...

Silas Vendine is a mage and a bounty hunter, on the hunt for renegade mages in the vast, unsettled Wildings. It's a dangerous job and Silas knows it, but when he comes to the town of Bitterbush Springs on the trail of dark and alien magic, he finds more excitement than he bargained for...

Book 1: Beneath the Canyons
Lainie Banfrey, a rancher's daughter, is both drawn to and terrified of her own developing magical powers. Though she has been taught all her life to hate and fear wizards, when a mage hunter comes to Bitterbush Springs searching for the renegade who is stirring up trouble in her hometown, she agrees to help him. The hunt leads Lainie and Silas deep into territory held by the hostile A'ayimat people, where only Silas's skills and Lainie's untamed, untrained power can stop the rogue mage and the dark powers he has unleashed into the world.

Book 2: Bad Hunting
The town of Bitterbush Springs isn't big enough for two wizards, or even one, so Silas and Lainie have hit the trail. Then Silas gets word that another mage hunter down in the dry and desolate Bads is onto something big and needs backup. He and Lainie head into the badlands to find one mage hunter dead and another one missing... And Silas could be next.

Book 3: The Rancher's Daughter
Silas and Lainie are on the run from the law, living on what Lainie can win at cards and whatever odd jobs Silas can find from people who need his skills and don't ask too many questions. When Lainie's luck with the cards turns sour, they are led to a meeting with one of the richest ranchers in the Wildings. Brin Coltor wants Silas and Lainie to undertake a dangerous mission into A'ayimat territory for him, and they can't afford to turn him down. But Coltor is hiding a few secrets of his own, that lead Silas and Lainie right into the trouble they've been trying to avoid.

Join Silas Vendine and Lainie Banfrey on their first three adventures through the Wildings, a world where high fantasy meets the wild west, in this three-book boxed set.

Cowboys and gunslingers meet wizards in this high fantasy series inspired by the American Wild West. Silas Vendine is a mage and bounty hunter, on the hunt for renegade mages. He's also a freedom fighter, sworn to protect the non-magical people of the Wildings from ambitious mages both lawless and lawful. In his line of work, Silas knows to expect the unexpected, but he never expected to end up with a partner like Lainie Banfrey, a young woman born in the Wildings who is both drawn to and terrified of her own developing magical powers.

Silas and Lainie have defeated the dangerous rogue mage who brought Lainie's hometown to the brink of open warfare. But the town of Bitterbush Springs isn't big enough for two wizards, or even one, so they've hit the trail. Then Silas gets word that another mage hunter down in the dry and desolate Bads is onto something big and needs backup. He and Lainie head into the badlands only to find one mage hunter dead and another one missing... And Silas could be next.

In the conclusion of Daughter of the Wildings, Silas and Lainie recover from their ordeal in Granadaia, while knowing that an evil is at work that threatens the freedom of the Wildings and that this peaceful interval is no more than a brief illusion. Then the unthinkable happens, the battle begins, and Lainie, the daughter of the Wildings, and Silas, the man she has claimed for herself and for the land, have to draw on all their power and strength - and on the life of the land itself - to protect their beloved Wildings and the people who make it their home.

Book 3 of Daughter of the Wildings

The secret of Lainie's forbidden magical gifts has been exposed, and Silas wants to take her far away from the Wildings to a place where she can be safe. To earn money for the journey, Silas signs them up to work on the big annual cattle drive to the Gap.  

Lainie dreams of making the Wildings into a place where she and Silas and other mages can live in peace. The cattle drive is the perfect opportunity for her and Silas to show the Plain settlers of the Wildings that not all mages are wicked, heartless monsters.

While Silas has reason to believe that the danger to Lainie is worse than he thought, Lainie can't agree that leaving the Wildings is the answer. As they travel with the herd, Lainie and Silas must avoid being captured or killed by mage hunters and discovered by the mage-hating Plains, while protecting the herd from renegade mages looking for money and trouble. And they have to find a way to resolve the disagreement between them - do they seek refuge in a faraway land or stand and face the dangers of being outlaw mages in the Wildings? - before it tears them apart.
