Beyond Mercenary picks up where Paranormal Mercenary Corps left off, returning to the world of supernatural operatives and Fae politics that M. Guida and Michael Anderle built in their first collaboration. The six-book series published across 2024 uses the seven deadly sins as loose thematic anchors for its story arcs, moving through titles like Blood Illusions, The Shadows of Excess, Mirror of Vanity, Crown of Envy, Tangle of Lust and Lethargy, and Rage of the Fallen.
The series keeps the combination of action-forward plotting and romantic tension that defined the first corps series, with the Fae world and its power structures continuing to drive conflict. Characters face both external threats and internal politics as the stakes for the mercenary team escalate across the six books.
Michael Anderle brings his experience from LMBPN Publishing’s extensive urban fantasy catalog, and the co-authored partnership keeps the pacing tight through the series. A complete boxed set was also released following the conclusion of the main run.
