Dig Two Graves
Daniel Faust is back from hell and out for blood. He has a new face and a deadly mission: to find the tiger-queen Naavarasi and his own traitorous brother, and put them both six feet underground.
But when Naavarasi’s shape-shifting minions abduct one of Daniel’s own, it’s time for a desperate rescue. With his demonic lover Caitlin and his precocious apprentice Melanie, he follows a thread of nonexistent airlines, ghostly packages, and urban legends all the way to Springfield, a small town with big secrets.
A small town where everything closes at sundown and people are warned not to go out after dark. A small town where the library offers books written by authors who never existed, and the locals seem to be acting out parts assigned by an invisible director. There’s only one way into Springfield. There’s no easy way out. And as the fabric of reality begins to warp and change all around them, Daniel and company will have to learn a new set of rules if they want to survive and put an end to Naavarasi’s twisted design.
This is a rescue mission, but there’s more at stake than a single life. The consequences are cosmic. He’s gunning for a pair of heads tonight but before his work is done, Daniel Faust may have to drop enough bodies to fill a graveyard.

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.
Daniel Faust
Las Vegas. It's a city of big winners and bigger losers, where fortunes tumble with a roll of the dice. Under all the glitz and sleaze, though, there's another Vegas: a city infested by monsters in human skin, drenched in occult corruption. It's the kind of place where a dash of black magic and a gun could be the only thing standing between you and the gates of hell. The kind of place a man like Daniel Faust calls home.
Daniel Faust consists of eleven primary books, and includes one additional book that complement the series but is not considered mandatory reads and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
