However, with no war to fight, she’s fallen into a state of drug induced stupor and disarray. Reduced to the rank of glorified groupie she wastes her days and nights supporting the boys’ local band at the bar.

An overbearing older brother and unruly younger sister leave Deacon in the middle of an involuntary detox.

With the war ended, even a crime boss needs entertainment, and Dacien Ransom refuses to give up on her favorite plaything – Deacon. As Deacon’s life collapses, the neighborly Edward Dorrance searches for meaning in the history of the streets, forging his own artistic character that could forever alter what it means to suffer. As the two struggle against overwhelming enemies bent on their destruction, each must emerge to play their respective roles as saint and sinner to the community.

She spends one moment, one night with one guy and then she takes the leap to live. Chase is cold hearted, aggressive and bends and abuses the law as he pleases. With almost the whole city wrapped around his finger who wouldn't? He is a hard worker and a stone mind. Stuck in the past he wishes to change, he meets Adrienne...a new taste he might like. He has his own problems and might be stuck in his ways, but meeting Adrienne suddenly his ways aren't set in stone anymore. She doesn't like being controlled, but being under his weight might just change her mind.

Ten years after the battle at Single Oak, the four groups of Oregon are still reeling from its after effects. Territory lines were drawn and stories have been told, those who were heroes once are legends now. In order to avoid new conflicts, solstice gatherings between the groups' leaders were organized-but will they be enough? *** Phoenix has grown up only ever knowing two things. One, her group and fathers are the saviors of Oregon. Two, The Reaper's are not to be trusted. So when a mysterious stranger rescues her after a hunting trip gone wrong turns out to be none other than her mortal enemy she begins to wonder, are they all as bad as they seem? The death of Stephan has begun to deteriorate The Reaper's from the inside out. Infighting over who should be their next leader has created countless seasons of lacking supplies and structure. A lack of prey follows a famine. Strong leadership is in order and although Gerald can provide it, debate and rumors are spread about his chosen companion-Aleu, Stephan's once respected apprentice, now glued to his side in a relationship they never wanted-with no say in the matter. The only person who The Reaper's can put their hope into is Hawk, their new general, a powerful man willing to do anything to keep his group thriving. Hawk is torn between keeping his group safe and his own ambition, Aleu is tortured with a constricting life they hate and Phoenix wonders if she can truly trust her new acquaintances. Now the three must make a decision. Will pushing aside the past and working together to make peace be worth turning their backs on their groups or is blood the only cure for the misdeeds of the past? _____________________ Story rating: 17+ Content warnings: Childhood trauma, subtext of grooming, strong language, violence and gore This can hypothetically be read as a stand alone but it's recommended to read the original series first.
