Autumn Awakens — M.J. Padgett

The small kingdom of Weisserwald is overrun with darkness, but not all hope is lost. A brave warrior will save the day, at least, if he can stop falling asleep at the worst possible time! Police detective Parker Quinn is a lot of things—heroic, steadfast, handsome—but he can't seem to keep his eyes open. When an unusual group of people approach him with a fantastic story about his origin and duty, Parker is immediately concerned for the well-being of his family. The strangers know enough about him to be dangerous, and Parker has had enough crazy for one lifetime. When Parker learns two old friends desperately need his help, he relents and hops on the crazy train right into his worst nightmares. With more gruesome creatures, villains, twists and turns, this fast-paced fourth installment of The Immortal Grimm Brothers' Guide to Sociopathic Princesses is sure to keep you guessing. And this time… we have dragons!
