Memories are power. Memories are profit. Memories are everything.
Kael has built his life on stealing them, one dive at a time, in a city that chews people up and leaves them hollow. But when a routine job uncovers the Hive-a government program designed to strip individuality from every citizen-Kael finds himself at the heart of a rebellion he never wanted.
With his estranged sister hunting him, a charismatic ally hiding secrets of his own, and an ancient force whispering from beyond, Kael must face a truth that terrifies him: he may be the only key to stopping the Hive.
But saving humanity might cost him the one thing he values most: his freedom.

The Lycan's Bargain
"Please help me... I'll do anything. I just want my mother to live." I cried, tears streaming down my face in torrents, my body trembling in fear. Kael stared down at me, his glowering eyes devoid of any emotion and a chill ran down my spine. "Anything, you say?" He asked, pointing the edge of his sword against my neck and I stiffened, refusing to breathe. "Anything... " I whispered, my voice small yet resolute. A corner of his lips quirked up, not quite forming a smile. "How about my slave?" ***** She was supposed to be his captive, not his salvation. When Aira sneaks into forbidden Lycan territory to save her mother, she is caught and thrown at the mercy of the ruthless Lycan King, Kael Drathlor.
