No one should ever come between a man's family and his guns. Not if they want to live. Not even a demon prince, a sorcerer supreme, or a ruthless dragon. Or a demonic horde. Especially when those guns belong to a spellslinger. Koren D'uene's enemies have a death wish, for he is a ja'lel, a gun knight, and his is the job of granting wishes. His guns spoke and enemies fell.

This collection includes:
Infernal Fire is book 1 of the Spellslinger Chronicles. Guns' Ghosts is book 2 of the Spellslinger Chronicles. Spellslinger is book 3 of the Spellslinger Chronicles.
