In 2/19th Special Weapons Group Rear Detachment usually means drinking beer, making sure nobody burns down the barracks, and trying not to freeze to death. It's usually easy duty, day on day off and kicking back. For Corporal Anthony "Ant" Stillwater and Specialists Nancy Nagle and John Bomber it's a little bit of relaxation, time to unwind after a grueling year of special weapons work, and nothing that they can't handle without breaking a sweat. This time there's something wrong. A killer roams the barracks, just as highly trained, just as motivated, and just as familiar with the territory as the soldiers of Rear Detachment. He has it all planned out, has prepared for it, and has the advantage of surprise. For those of you having trouble with the terms, I've put in a lexicon under my works. It should help. (This is NOT the Amazon version, but rather the 3rd revision before the expansion into the version on Amazon. It's here for those of you that are unable to purchase the Amazon version so that you know what's going on in the rest of the books)

[Third Book of the Flight Series] "Many things be broken, but only some can be fixed." Iolani Tori feels more alone than he has ever been on his journey. Yet, he doesn't have time for himself. Luka finds every meal a challenge to stomach; Jiro cannot forget; Pipa confesses and Vaughn admits to being rather poor at human interaction. Io, very naturally, meddles. Recent cases of unnatural deaths have caught the attention of the island-its cause unknown despite the many attempts to unveil that which was hidden. What they were bound to know, however, was the presence of a third, most deadly player in the game; the predator of humans themselves.

"Farzaneh..." I pull her to me, flinching when my sleeve rolls back, her eyes drawn to the markings. On my bare skin's a map revealing a different tattoo, one for every person I killed. I hate looking at the running tally of tattoos on my body. It reminds me of how many I've murdered. Reminds me I'm a human with a death goddess. My hakama, the color blue, blends into the folds of the red cloak around her, the effect like fire and ice. I bat my lashes, flex my muscles, all wiry from climbing the rigging when I get bored. "I'm just a boy." The look on her face is cruel. It reminds me why those chains are on her wrists. We're both cursed. Dark fantasy PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN with an LGBT+-ensemble *** Trans Captain Lucky Dice's enemies know him as a gambler, playing a game with a cursed set of dice that kills the losers instantly.

The Divine princess, Kaliya, is trapped in the body of an all-devouring serpent, cursed by the Witch Goddess, the Matriarch of Truth, to weaken and murder her own godly parents. The gods are dying.

A Familiar: An animal that chooses a human to bond with. The bond between the human and animal are created out of acceptance of both. The human can use the animal's traits. So if you were bonded with a bird, you could transform your arms into wings and fly. If you were bonded to a rabbit, you could transform your ears into rabbit ears for great sense of hearing. But Familiar's can be anything. From a sparrow, to the largest of all Familiars, a dragon. But creatures like dragons live in Dragon Mountain, and are very protective of each other if they don't have a human that they are bonded to.
