Queen of the Night
It all ends here.
It ends as Livia Serafini returns to her homeland with an army at her
back, an exiled refugee turned ruthless conqueror, bringing war and
witchcraft to any who dare stand in her way. It ends as Renata Nicchi
and her ragged band of hunters and outlaws infiltrate a city under
siege, making a last, desperate bid to save her lover from the jaws of
the criminal underworld and be reunited at last.
And as the Owl
and her coven work to unravel the mystery of Wisdom's Grave, a doom from the past threatens to consume them all. It ends here, in the final
chapter of the Revanche Cycle, under the spreading shadow of darkness.
In a land where poison is king, only one can become the queen of the
night.

Craig Schaefer
Craig Schaefer writes where the lines between crime and sorcery blur, and where every bargain comes with a cost. Under that name, Heather Schaefer has built an interconnected body of work that threads through the neon alleys of Las Vegas, the halls of occult conspiracies, and worlds shaped by betrayal, devotion, and blood-stained magic.
Her breakthrough came with The Long Way Down in 2014, the first Daniel Faust novel. What began as the tale of a streetwise magician hustling through Vegas’s underbelly grew into a sprawling series praised for its relentless pacing and razor-edged mix of noir and urban fantasy. Schaefer expanded the universe with Harmony Black, turning the camera on a covert government team tasked with confronting supernatural threats, and with The Revanche Cycle, a Renaissance-tinged epic of politics and power. Though distinct in setting, these works share a gravitational pull toward moral ambiguity: damaged survivors, corrupt institutions, and the fragile bonds that can either redeem or destroy.
Revanche Cycle
A world away from Daniel Faust and Harmony Black - though perhaps not as far as you might think - awaits the intrigue and danger of The Revanche Cycle. As Pope Benignus lies in his deathbed and an empire awaits his successor, a madman puts his apocalyptic plan for revenge into motion. His web of conspiracy will snare an unlikely gathering of souls, from a barmaid and her lover, to a pair of low-rent bounty hunters, to the pope's iron-willed daughter, their roads converging in a broken, war-ravaged land.
Revanche Cycle consists of four books. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
