Burning Point
The final book in the Bound by Honoe series
Major Cecelia Livingston never asked to become the center of a war. But after months of betrayals, ambushes, and bleeding secrets, she's no longer just the team's medic-she's their last shot at unraveling the truth.
The base is compromised. Trust is scarce. And the one man she once clashed with-Commander Rhys Callan-might be the only person who can help her survive what comes next. As Cecelia returns home to recover, the team scatters, grieving another loss. But the war isn't over. It's just changed shape.
From shadowed military offices to silent helicopter flights, the final operation begins-not against an outside enemy, but the powerful insiders who orchestrated it all. With the truth buried under layers of corruption, and loyalties fraying at the edges, Cecelia and Callan must follow the evidence to its final, brutal conclusion.
But uncovering the truth comes at a cost.
And not everyone is walking away from this alive.

Unknown Horizons
Second Contact: War of the Deep Valley The war for survival was only the beginning. Months after the crash of the Ardent Dawn, Commander Mizuno Kaede and her surviving crew have built a fragile foothold on the uncharted planet known as Zion - a world eerily similar to Earth, yet filled with ancient secrets buried beneath its emerald skies. When contact is made - not with rescue ships, but with a new alien civilization - everything changes. The species that emerges from the Deep Valley of Ocean Bay are not the mindless predators the squad expected. They are the Ael'thari - a long-lived, tribal people whose lifespans stretch across centuries. Their warriors fight with precision older than human memory; their seers speak in voices that seem to echo through time itself. At first, Mizuno seeks peace. But peace comes at a cost. A human scouting team vanishes near the valley. Diplomatic envoys return in silence. Then the skies burn - tracer fire over the ocean, flames reflected in the waves - and the Second Contact War begins. Now Mizuno stands at the center of a conflict neither side truly understands. Her orders are clear: secure Zion, eliminate threats, ensure human survival. But as the war deepens, she uncovers truths that defy her command and challenge her loyalty. The Ael'thari are not fighting for conquest - they're fighting for memory, for the right to exist against a species that cannot comprehend time the way they do. With her Shadow Squad fractured, alliances shifting, and her own command questioned, Mizuno must choose between following Earth's protocol - or following her conscience. Because on Zion, survival is not about who wins the war... ...it's about who remembers it first.
