Ranger’s Risk by Cassie Cole

Alyssa’s Quintelaide is getting another chance to test the Tinker superweapon.
And this time it’s against a real Silithik hive.
Desperate to avoid the Archon’s demands—and his inevitable wrath at Alyssa for not sharing her new runetracing ability—Field Marshall Tyronix sends the Ninety-First on a dangerous mission: traveling behind enemy lines to the Daggerscar Canyon, where they must destroy a hive dedicated to producing the Silithik wasps which have been plaguing the western front for the entire war.
It’s a mission that will bring Alyssa and Harry, the Quint’s Ranger, closer together–something he is now eager to do after seeing his three Quintmates have their way with the beautiful Pyromancer. There’s not much chance for romance while stalking through Silithik-occupied territory, but soon Alyssa is fantasizing about joining the handsome Ranger’s bedroll at night…
Can Alyssa and her Quintmates complete the mission and escape the canyon alive? And even if they do, will it be enough to convince the Archon of their loyalty?
