There were no winners of the war that ripped Briar's world apart: a war between those who had power, and those who did not. In the generations since, the survivors have learnt to live without technology, to carve a more rural life out of the land, and to hide their powers away.

Briar's family has power. To protect themselves, they live isolated, hidden within the bushland, and over a day from the nearest village, never forgetting that friends and neighbours would turn against them if they knew their secret. 

When she encounters Thorn, the mysterious silver haired man with technologically advanced black dragon-scale armour, in the bushland around her farm, Briar finds herself irresistibly drawn to him. His motivations are unclear, and as she continues to keep him secret from her family, she begins to wonder if she is risking their safety in doing so. 

Is Thorn a friend, or an invader?

Lotticia Andrews had spent her entire life behind the walls of her library. Her father raised her to be selfish, and to fear the outside, and even after his death- she never left. She and her border collie had remained- until their food ran out. Lotticia wasn't a fighter, she only ever knew how to use knives- a knife her father had taught her how to use. A knife, a dog, a journal, and anxiety are all her father left her with. And books- hundreds of books. Then a Warrior general stomps his way into her life- trampling her solitary and lonely life. He's loud and obnoxious, imposing- but there seemed more beneath his hard exterior. His personality was a weapon he wore like his armor. General Christoph was a harsh leader compared to his predecessor Zelle. The warrior who trained him and chose him to continue in his footsteps after his death. He was bitter and cynical- and didn't intend to take another woman after his mate had died all those years ago. But things don't always go according to plan- he never meant to stumble upon a small female, nor her furry big-eyed dog. Christoph needed this human, for her knowledge and the language she could help them to understand her hand language. A small group, a one-day trip- that was all it was supposed to be. But then no one expected poachers, Another human female, or the natural cycle and what it could do to the human body. Christoph had completely underestimated the trip. Now war has broken out and tensions rise- both buried feelings and skeletons come falling out of the closet. Can this spunky smart girl survive the Palace's wrath? Can Christoph face the reality that things aren't always what they seem nor black and white? Will Lassie play her part- and find her way home? Who knows- maybe humanity was doomed on Earth- but that won't be Lottie or her dog- because she's willing to do whatever it takes to get moved up to the front of the list. Even if it means dealing with the palace, poachers, and skrill alike.
