[Book 2 of the ARC10 Trilogy] Rampant addictions, psychotic breakdowns, and threats of mutiny keep Commander Janika Lorn up all night. Transporting two-thousand souls safely from a destroyed Earth to a new habitat aboard the refugee ship ARC10 has been a special kind of hell - especially while also hiding her illegal pregnancy from her commanding officer. She wonders if they should turn around and take their chances in the crumbling underground bunker city they abandoned, even with the hostile invading aliens still patrolling the sky. She wonders if they're capable of surviving the rest of the journey. Because it seems like her troubles couldn't get any worse, and they've only been in space for three months. As usual, Commander Janika Lorn is wrong. When she finally hits an all-time low in the confines of an alien prison, a botched rescue operation puts her life in the black-gloved hands of Captain Shin-Hyun Moon of the HMS Valediction - a notorious vagrant and patchwork monster who was stitched together with the eclectic skins of the galaxy. Despite being instant enemies, Lorn and Moon are forced to work together to salvage their separate missions that have gone totally awry. HMS Valediction is the sequel to 2017 Watty winner ARC10, the second installation of the ARC10 trilogy. Cover art by the enormously talented @FayLane

Ava's been running for years. Running from life, love and pain. It's all she can do to maintain her sanity after a horrible accident stole ten years of her memories. When her beloved grandmother passes away she is forced to return home. As a gift, her Gram left her a written account of Ava's mysterious life before the accident. Ava can't see how a fairy tale about magical trees that transport to another world and a prince have anything to do with her past. That is, until she meets the elusive Braden and her reality is turned upside down. As a seed of recognition sprouts between them, she begins to unravel the truth behind her Gram's retelling of their young romance; love doesn't come without sacrifice. If they want to be together, she must overcome a lethal king from a dark kingdom and a deadly batch of zombies called Cryptors. The hardest part, however, will be learning to trust her instincts and accept the long lost girl that has molded her into the woman she has become. Time is not on their side and she must do it all before she loses everything she never knew she always wanted. All rights are reserved by copyright 2016 Cassandra Wilsted

For Myra, eight years ago, the world went to hell. Once a free werewolf, her secret secure and her pack safe, now she is caged, trapped, locked away. Somehow, the humans found out their secret. Somehow, the humans found their pack. Somehow, the humans caught them. Once they had finished with her kind, they threw them into zoos to rot. Forced to show off her wolf form in front of huge crowds, eat drugged meat or starve, and be treated like an animal, she has no hope; no life. Her only reason to survive is the pups in this place, who depend on her. But the loss of freedom, her refusal to act like an animal, is slowly killing her. She cannot rebel, for fear of harm coming to those she protects. Yet her inner animal will not let her be trapped for much longer. Stuck between fear and instinct, with no one left to protect her, Myra struggles to adapt to her new world. It is impossible. Something has to change. Striking up a forbidden friendship with both a visitor to her cage and the vets who treat her with care, Myra is given a choice. She can do as she has always done, and shelter those she considers family. Or she can fight, and risk everyone she cares about as well as her own life in a desperate bid for freedom. In a world where her kind are spat upon for being different, painful, desperate choices are the only ones she has.

Crossroads. Our lives are full of them. You don't always realize it but they are there. Sometimes they are paved, easily followed and happily travelled. Other times the choice is not so clear and the road that is narrow and muddy and all in all unattractive is the one that you should venture upon. Family, friends, the society in which you where raised in, your sex, will always influence you on your choices when you come upon your crossroads. In the end, the choice is always yours. There is a solution to every problem. It just doesn't always have the desired outcome. It 's even more complicated when you are a werewolf.
