The tavern is thriving. The eggs are edible. The Sword Saint finally has something worth protecting.

Which means, of course, that something is coming to take it all away.

The corruption spreading from the northern forest isn't random. Something ancient and patient is building an army in the dark -- the seventh demon general, the one that was never found, the one that's been watching Garrett for fifteen years and knows exactly what he loves.

Then a purple-haired mage crashes through the tavern door at midnight with two years of research, a staff that won't stop sparking, and proof that the Demon War never really ended.

Lily Ashvale is brilliant, blunt, and dangerously beautiful. She's also the only person alive who knows what's hiding in the forest. As the threat grows, so does the family -- and Garrett discovers that protecting three extraordinary women is harder than killing a god. Especially when an imperial envoy arrives to reclaim a runaway princess, an old enemy returns with a legal writ, and the darkness to the north starts moving.

Nobody warned him retirement would be this eventful.
