Off-world settlements Out There harboring the descendants of pilgrims and refugees are once again facing danger. For eighty years, the Peace Accords that ended a bloody war has protected the settlements in the Kavon System. Now soon to expire, the end of the treaty means their territory is open for colonization, allowing the Confederacy to continue its expansion to other worlds.
Erkhim is a Novice in an old religious order at one of the last remaining temples in the Confederacy. Unfulfilled in their studies to become a pilot like their grandmother, they decide to follow the footsteps of their aunt and become an ascetic. But those studies are interrupted when the captain of a starship asks for the amulet their aunt gifted them before she disappeared. Erkhim's amulet is not only a relic from their aunt's pilgrimage ship, it is also the only device that might help the captain locate the settlement before it's too late.

When Loki's consort and soulmate marries his rival to save their son from a curse, a prophecy leads to consequences even the God of Chaos couldn't predict. *** The Unseelie Goddess of War's revenge against Asgard's Dark Prince puts him in a no-win scenario with a choice between losing his soulmate or his son. Bad enough that damn Atlantean prince saved Shannon when Loki couldn't, but now Elatha is saving Loki's son by stealing his mate. Neither outcome will leave Shannon and Loki's relationship unchanged. While some of Shannon's Unseelie relatives have no issue with killing her son, others aren't so blase about the curse. Yet it's the prophecy at Shannon's birth that's brought Elatha and Shannon together in this arranged marriage. When betrayal strikes, it may be the key to saving not just her son, but Loki's soul as well. The prophecy hints at a chance to right a mistake that has haunted him, but it will require more soul-searching than Loki is comfortable with. Wait until he finds out he'll have to get along with his rival Elatha to achieve their goals. FINAL STORY IS AVAILABLE at all major retailers.
