He burned for control. She was born of chaos. Together, they'll shatter the laws that broke them-and forge a love fierce enough to change everything. - In a kingdom where magic is law and the powerless are sold like cattle, survival is a coin few can afford. Every season, the poorest are swept from the streets and auctioned off as Familiars - living mana batteries to feed the ambitions of greedy sorcerers. Forgotten. Disposable. Erissa expected pain when she was claimed by Lord Kaelen Carmentis - the coldest sorcerer in the court, and heir to one of the oldest bloodlines in the realm. She didn't expect the bond to awaken something inside her. And she certainly didn't expect that, in the silence between them, she would feel safe. But Familiars aren't meant to be felt. And whatever is growing between them... is breaking every rule. Because she was never meant to survive the system. She was meant to rewrite it - and burn the old world down in the process.

In the days of the Old West, an unexpected event changes the world forever. When the dead rise to feed on the living, humankind congregate within swollen communities and only the very brave, or the very stupid, wander into the vast landscape now populated by creatures of nightmare. When Henry Pierce, intrepid reporter from back East, arrives in Prescott, Arizona Territory, he chances upon one of those brave souls and senses an unfolding story that could make his name. Following the bounty hunter, known only as 'Annie', out into the wilds, he finds himself caught in a deadly race to find three murderous men, led by the villainous Arthur Shipton. The hunt takes Henry and Annie into the very heart of the terrors that grip the New World, from the horrors of the shambling, glutinous Drifters, to a mountain under the thrall of the monstrous Skinchangers and on, to the fortress of Shipton and the blood-drinking creatures there. Can Henry survive to see his story published? And who is Pitchfork Annie? A ghost of a long-dead woman, a relentless predator of cutthroats and thieves, or an angel of righteous vengeance? Only Annie knows for certain. Cover created in Canva, using an AI generated picture.

Duncan Conner was a man full of anger and anguish, having lost everything he loved, and nearly his own life. Living in self-imposed exile, he wasn't seeking out companionship, hoping to heal from the deep wounds of loss. What he found in the scorching heat of the desert sand would change his life forever...if he survived. ~~~ My slap caught his jaw, the echo of it bouncing back from against the rock, my palm stinging fiercely from the strength behind the blow. The next I knew I was looking up at the sky, ears ringing, shuddering waves of pain rippling from the side of my face. I had not even seen him move, but the rider had spared no strength in his instant retaliation. Dizzy, the world somewhat indistinct and whirling I did not resist when he reached down and again pulled me to my feet. I swayed and nearly fell but the man caught me, gently holding me in place until I could stand on my own. I looked at him, my eyes wide with astonishment, and he must have sensed how I felt because he shrugged. He knew I did not understand him, but he spoke anyway, his voice deep. "I told you I'd lay you out flat, and I don't speak for the pleasure of it."

Look at me!" He tugs me back into his arms, tightly embracing me. "I won't let you leave. You belong with me." ***** Eliana was content with her lifestyle, as her pack's slave.
