The gods are real...and they want their world back.
Thousands of years ago, ancient deities fought a civil war that nearly destroyed the earth. They were defeated by a great warrior—and banished to spend eternity beyond the reach of the humans who once served them.
Their war is raging once again.
And once again, it will require a great hero to save humanity.
Unfortunately for humanity, I’m that hero.
My name is Vic Stratton. I’m no saint, but I’m the best chance we’ve got at surviving the chaos about to be unleashed. But hey, at least I have my good looks, a quick tongue, and the sword of the gods on my side.
And I’m going to need it. Because when the gods return, all hell will break loose.

Author Notes
June 10, 2020
Hey, everyone,
Chris Raymond here.
I am the other half of the writing team of Raymond and Barbant… Or, for this series: ST Branton.
First, let me say thanks. There is nothing we love more as authors than people reading our books. And, if you got to the end of book 2 it means that you like them. (Or you’re as stubborn as I am when it comes to finishing.) But I hope you loved them.
We’ve spent a long time developing Sara Slick as a character, and it’s been fun to see her go out into the world and connect with people just like you.
Usually when you write things like authors notes, you want to make them evergreen—able to stand the test of time. This is mostly true for books as well. Don’t mention the latest trend, don’t lean on some technology that might be here today and gone tomorrow. Remember that author that leveraged MySpace or the used beepers as the centerpiece in his novel? Yeah, generally you don’t want to be that guy.
But today, I feel like I have to contextualize these author notes just a bit. Because right now, we’re in the middle of a big-ass global pandemic. That’s right, COVID-19. Not to mention there are protests in most of the major cities in many small towns throughout the US centered on issues of race and justice.
I’m not raising these issues to talk about them, necessarily. Instead, I want to say this: in the midst of a world that feels like it is completely fallen down, we need little glimmers and glimpses of goodness. For me, I get this from stories. Books. Movies. Plays. Songs.
In almost any form, stories can be a delightful escape from the everyday hurts of the world.
They can be light in the darkness.
I hope that in days like these, you might find a moment’s peace. You might get an easy laugh. You might be moved by the hero’s journey. You might find rest in these fictional friendships.
Ultimately, this is why we write.
Not always just for escape, but for solace.
When the world is hard, when the hurt is real, we need a balm.
Our hope is that these books could be just that. Whether they’re getting you through a world-wide pandemic or just a really crappy day, we hope and pray that Sara and her friends might break the sorrow.
And, if you’re reading this and everything is easy breezy… Well may it be the icing on top.
Again, thanks for reading. We love you guys. See you in the next book.
Best regards,
Chris Raymond

Want more snarky heroines? Well, Chris and Lee also have an urban fantasy series about the mythic gods return to earth in their series with ST Branton, Forgotten Gods. The tagline is: The gods are real, and they’re assholes. And it couldn’t be closer to the truth. This series is fun, fast, exciting, and a little irreverent.
Vampires, werewolves, and all manner of monstrous creatures serve the unknown powers of old, but the story centers on the humans who make the heroic choice to fight them. Join Vic and her crew as they attempt to save earth from the gods who want it back. You won’t forget, Forgotten Gods.
Oh, and… it is an 8 book omnibus almost always on sale for silly cheap!
While you’re at it, we really thing you should try the new and improved Steel City Heroes:
A mad scientist fighting the laws of man and nature.
A demon-monster of mythical proportions.
A corporate conspiracy that goes back more than a century.
The Steel City is in desperate need of a hero.
Happy Reading!!
