Unlikely Allies
About this audiobook
The job was supposed to be simple. Locate my old commanding officer, break him out of an underground military black site, and portal back to Azogrim before the dust settled.
But nothing is ever that simple. That's a lesson I've come to learn the hard way. With the multiverse tearing itself apart and the ancient gates growing more unstable by the day, we need Colonel Levine to help us level the playing field. Armed with dwarven tech, an ancient hedge witch, and Leylandir at my side, I thought we were unstoppable.
Except the extraction turns into an ambush.
When the facility goes into lockdown and the firefight turns bloody, I make the only tactical choice I have left: I hold the line so my team — and the man I love — can escape. But my capture isn't just a victory for the US military. General Rind doesn't want to make me a martyr on Earth. Instead, he extradites me to Earendor, straight into the hands of my worst enemy.
Who'd ever believe elves and humans would make plausible bedfellows in this war?
Leylandir will burn realms to the ground to save me. But if he walks into his father's snare, he loses his freedom forever.
I can't let him pay that price. I'm just going to have to break myself out first.
The relentless fifth installment in the War for Magic series.

About the author
Paula Mason is an author from Australia who can’t quite decide if magic should be used for solving small-town mysteries, fighting dragons, or surviving a near-future war zone—so she writes all the things.
By day, Paula is a social worker with a deep grounding in social justice and a fascination with how culture, identity, and resilience help people navigate the messier parts of being human. Regardless of the genre, you can always count on two things: there will be magic (and usually witches), and there will be a story about people finding their way through the wreckage we call life.
