Pangaea; Sunslinger

A young socialite seeks to shine a dim light in a bleak, ruined city by helping those less fortunate, and with some luck atone for past sins committed out of inexperience. So, she opens a clinic in Lyonesse: a lawless city run by Immortal crime lords.Her protector is a strangely-powerful Elf whose past has left him broken and defeated, and whose boss, one of those very crime lords, seeks only to keep them both under his heel as her family is paying him a king's ransom to keep her safe.A terrible accident can either set them both free or see them forever ensnared, or worse...dead."Every now and then a Ranger, near the end of his life or edge of her sanity, enters Lyonesse in a last-ditch effort to bring a small measure of hope to the hopeless. Predictably, their life span is short and violent."
