When a Russian Shifter offers her a job in his covert organization hunting outlaws, dignity and a respectable career are finally within her grasp. The catch?

BONUS BOOK

Sword of Honor: book one in a dystopian retelling of King Arthur

When the world needs a hero do you run for the hills?

A magic sword. A world divided. A legendary King. This is no Camelot and Skye is no Guinevere, but the world is dark and divided, and it does need a hero.

With the government burying itself in bunkers underground and technology lost to all but a sacred few, it seems hope of that hero grows dimmer. Skye has been waiting for a champion to come ever since brigands destroyed her home and sent her running into the hands of a despot.

…But that same despot is searching for a weapon of incredible magic.

And he’s looking for Skye.

Time is running out.

It’s time to act and Skye is ready to fight. Even if it means taking possession of a sword possessed of magic both terrible and frightening. A sword offered by a powerful sorcerer who wants to put it into her hands.

A sword that turns her into that hero.

But does she have what it takes to wield its power without losing herself to it? Or will her hesitation cost the nation in blood?

If you love stories reminiscent of the Arthurian legend but saturated with apocalyptic flavors of the future, you will want to give this a try.
