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.

Schaefer’s stories often carry the texture of lived history. Before writing full time, she immersed herself in folklore, crime reporting, and the ways myth bleeds into daily life. Those influences surface in her prose, lyrical when a moment demands wonder and unflinching when violence breaks through. She does not shy away from flawed heroes or hard questions, instead building narratives that sit at the uneasy crossroads of loyalty and betrayal, hope and ruin.

Now based in North Carolina, she continues to weave tales set in what she calls the First Story, a shared continuity linking her major works. A decade on from her first publication, her novels have been translated into multiple languages, drawing international readers into her haunted worlds.

Whether following Daniel Faust’s crooked path through casinos and covens, Harmony Black’s battles with monsters in the dark, or the political intrigue of The Revanche Cycle, readers come to Schaefer’s work expecting more than just magic. They come for the tension of lives balanced on the edge, where every choice carries a shadow.

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.

Faust is nobody's hero. He's a card-carrying villain by trade, a thief and sorcerer just trying to make a dishonest buck in Sin City. He doesn't have to go looking for trouble, though: trouble finds him. Surviving by his wits, he does his best to save the day (if he absolutely has to), save his own skin (preferably), and beat the odds on his way to the next big score.
