Synopsis
Remembering the dead will always give them life.
The coveted Morrígan’s staff is up for sale on the black market to the highest bidder, and SOA Special Agent Patrick Collins will do whatever it takes to ensure the Dominion Sect doesn’t get their hands on it. Returning the weapon to its rightful owner is another step on the long road toward clearing Patrick’s soul debt, but he won’t walk it alone. Jonothon de Vere won’t let him.
Obeying the gods means Patrick must travel to London. For Jono, it means facing a past he thought he’d left behind forever. His return to England isn’t welcome, and neither is their pack, but Jono and Patrick will face the antagonism together. Politics aside, their priority must be the mission, but the bone-chilling secret they uncover in the London god pack will have far-reaching repercussions no one can ignore.
A race against time takes Patrick and Jono from the streets of London to the bright lights of Paris, where hospitality is thin on the ground, the air is filled with whispered prayers for the missing, and the Morrígan’s staff will end up in the one place it should never have gone—a graveyard.
For beneath Paris lie the long-forgotten dead, and when they rise to walk again, the living can only hope to die.
On the Wings of War is a 109k word m/m urban fantasy with a gay romantic subplot and a HFN ending. It is a direct sequel to A Vigil in the Mourning. Reading the first book in the series would be helpful in enjoying this one.

Praise for The Soulbound Series:
Hailey Turner never disappoints! The Soulbound series continues in On The Wings of War with Turner’s unique and compelling world-building, beloved characters including Wade the ever-snacking cutie pie, and the same kind of page-turning action we’ve come to expect from a Hailey Turner story. Whenever I read a Soulbound novel, I come out of it feeling smarter and a little bit breathless, like if I looked behind me there might be a tiny bit of magic and dragon smoke wafting in the air. I can’t recommend this new Hailey Turner novel enough. Grab it now! – Bestselling author, Lucy Lennox
With every new book in the Soulbound series, I ask myself how Hailey Turner could possibly top this, and in true Patrick style, challenge accepted. Each book in this series is even better than the last, and I’m absolutely in love with these characters. I can’t get enough of Patrick, Jono, Wade, and On the Wings of War is an adrenaline-fueled adventure you don’t want to miss! – Bestselling author, Charlie Cochet
Hailey Turner is a wonderful writer, and nowhere is this better illustrated than in the Soulbound series. The world of Patrick and Jono is so perfectly realised and populated with rich characters drawn from mythology and folklore. I couldn’t put this book down. – Bestselling author, Lily Morton
I have been a fan of the Soulbound series since the very beginning, but somehow it gets better with every new installment, and this one is the best yet. The twists and turns are tighter, the action more explosive, the love between Jono and Patrick deeper, and the bonds with their found family even sweeter, making On the Wings of War one of the most satisfying reads I’ve had in a long time. This book was a roller coaster ride I never wanted to end. – M/M Author, May Archer
Exclusive Excerpt
Patrick turned his back on Lucien when smarter people never did. He knew Jono would keep him safe. He also knew Lucien was bound by a promise he’d made to his mother to keep Patrick alive in the fight against the Dominion Sect.
Patrick still expected to be stabbed in the back one day.
Jono’s footsteps behind him drew closer until they were walking side by side. They left Ginnungagap for the muggy heat outside, city noises rushing back into his ears once they crossed the threshold. Patrick pulled the collar of his T-shirt away from his scarred chest, trying to get some air flowing against his skin.
“We should get everyone together for a pack meeting,” Patrick said.
Jono beeped the alarm off and opened the driver’s-side door while Patrick looped around to the other side. Jono looked over the top of the car at him. “Do you want to call them, or should I?”
“You drive. I’ll call.”
“Where are we meeting them?”
“Marek’s place. It won’t be as crowded.”
Their two-bedroom apartment in a Chelsea brownstone could handle their close group of friends, but Patrick had been cooped up in committee rooms and airplanes for the past week. He wanted space, and Marek owned an entire Art Deco building in the Upper East Side. Pack meetings were easier to conduct there when they needed to include people other than the four that made up their god pack.
“Everyone’s working,” Jono reminded him.
“Not anymore.”
Sometimes pack business had to come first.
Review
Absolutely brilliant. It’s just keeps getting better with each book. I love how the author introduces us to a different mythology each time and this time it’s Slavic. The story is intricately woven and I love how it all comes together in the end and makes sense.
Patrick and Jono are still as strong as ever. And with Sage and Wade, I’m really looking forward to even more of the pack’s adventures. I didn’t see that ending coming but I got so excited when I finally picked it up. Wow!! It’s definitely one of the BEST endings!!
Pick this up when you have some time ’cause trust me when I say you’re not going to put it down! It’s filled with action, suspense, romance & humour and I was on edge the whole time. Hailey Turner never disappoints and I really need the next book ASAP!
