Description

They are my harvest, and I will reap them all.

Returning to Guthrie, Oklahoma, for the funeral of his mysterious and beloved aunt Sue, Adam Binder once again finds himself in the path of deadly magic when a dark druid begins to prey on members of Adam’s family. It all seems linked to the death of Adam’s father many years ago—a man who may have somehow survived as a warlock.

Watched by the police, separated from the man who may be the love of his life, compelled to seek the truth about his connection to the druid, Adam learns more about his family and its troubled history than he ever bargained for, and finally comes face-to-face with the warlock he has vowed to stop.

Meanwhile, beyond the Veil of the mortal world, Argent the Queen of Swords and Vic the Reaper undertake a dangerous journey to a secret meeting of the Council of Races . . . where the sea elves are calling for the destruction of humanity.

Praise

“Dark, funny, and full of devious twists. Highly recommended!” Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of Rage and V-Wars, on White Trash Warlock

“Edgy and addicting, David R. Slayton’s stunning debut will grab hold of you and knock you around just because it can. But before it’s all over, it’ll leave you breathless and begging for more.” Darynda Jones, New York Times bestselling author, on White Trash Warlock

“A well-written story with an LGBTQ+ protagonist…Dark, haunting, lyrical, and innovative, beautiful and heartfelt.” New York Journal of Books on White Trash Warlock

“The complex world-building, well-shaded depictions of poverty, emotional nuance, and thrilling action sequences make this stand out. Slayton is sure to win plenty of fans.” Publishers Weekly (starred review) on White Trash Warlock

“Slayton’s debut uses wry humor, alternating viewpoints, and intriguing LGBTQ+ characters that will have readers eager for more of Adam Binder’s escapades.” Booklist on White Trash Warlock

“Slayton’s book gathers up pretty much every modern fantasy trope, turns them upside down, and shakes them…The elves who show up would have Tolkien rolling in his grave, which is my highest endorsement, and the LGBTQIA+ rep is all around outstanding.” BookRiot on White Trash Warlock

“Adam Binder is a compelling, deeply relatable protagonist, and the journey he leads us on is dazzling and wonderfully original.” Lynn Flewelling, author of the Nightrunner series and the Tamír Triad series, on White Trash Warlock

“[Slayton] turned the usual tropes on their ass, and created an amazing, fresh story. A rural setting; relatable paycheck-to-paycheck characters; strong LGBT+ representation…It’s an exceptional debut. We need more books like this.” K. D. Edwards, author of The Last Sun and The Hanged Man, on White Trash Warlock

“Inventive, exciting, and starring one of the most charming fantasy characters I have ever read about…David R. Slayton is definitely an author to watch.” Cale Dietrich, author of The Love Interest, on White Trash Warlock

“In Trailer Park Trickster, David R. Slayton doubles down on everything that made his first book great: a complicated world, dangerous magic, a likable protagonist, dark family secrets, and, of course, authentically painful (or is that painfully authentic?) love. I can’t wait for more!” Gregory Ashe, author of the Hazard and Somerset mysteries

“[A] thrilling, well-crafted sequel to White Trash Warlock…The interweaving of Adam’s and Vic’s quests builds satisfying tension on the way to an unresolved ending that sets things up nicely for the next installment. The result is an emotionally rich page-turner.” Publishers Weekly
