Sinopsis

Bad choices by overconfident maverick Dani Novak left a fellow marine dead and Dani cooling her heels in jail for five years. Now she's out, with few prospects and fewer friends. Dani's ex-commanding officer, Petra Hawkins, leader of the military contractor the Hawkins Free Company, offers Dani a job on her ship, the Persephone, after a chance meeting on the Red Palace space station. Petra still believes Dani has the potential to regain some of what she lost, still believes she let Dani down before, and now believes she has a duty to help her.
As the lowest ranking crewperson on the Persephone, with her history of a court-martial and jail, Dani faces distrust and suspicion from the company's squad of marines and the ship's officers. But after seeing the squad in action, Dani knows she wants to become a marine again, and Petra agrees to train her. What looks like an easy escort mission gives Dani and Petra lot of time to work together on Dani's fitness, and to wrestle with feelings they've repressed for a long time.

The Moonshine Heart

Eule Grey

I wish I knew why I was born with the mark of a half-moon, but I was abandoned at the edge of a forest as a baby. Leading my forest army into war and fighting for my people is all that matters. I don't need family and friends because I love my bow and arrow and I certainly don't have time for relationships or sex.


At least, it's how things used to be. Nothing has been the same ever since the pretty witch Marwa chased me until we fought. Now I can't sleep without thinking about how she kissed me or the embarrassing way she played with my body. And I allowed her to do those things! I should be ashamed of myself, but I can't stop thinking about her.


There's more. The river and trees are dying and the moon had cracked into two. Everyone says the witches are to blame. How can the rift be healed? My people and Marwa's have been enemies since time began. Is it too late to stop the rot?

Blood of the Orc Prince - MM...

Lionel Hart

War draws ever closer, and no one can be trusted. Taegan and Zorvut have each other, but will that be enough?
The orc warlord Hrul Bonebreaker has violated the peace treaty that first brought the elven prince Taegan and his half-orc husband Zorvut together, and orc armies march upon the elves once more. Zorvut must learn to harness his latent magical ability, but Aefraya isn’t safe anymore. So with the elven king’s blessing, they flee Aefraya in the night and travel toward human lands, following a rumor hoping to find the man who is Zorvut’s true father: Tomlin Whitmore, a retired bard.
Will the human be able to help train Zorvut at all? Would he even want to? Taegan has his own doubts about Zorvut’s optimistic plan, but the thought of being apart is unbearable. They make the journey through untamed wilderness and rural villages to the beachside town where the bard was last spotted.
Although they’re further from the war front, danger proves difficult to outrun, and discerning friend from foe is far less simple while surrounded by unfamiliar people in unfamiliar lands. After all, wars aren’t ended so easily, and betrayal can lurk unseen until it’s too late.
Blood of the Orc Prince is book two of the Orc Prince Trilogy. Book one, Claimed by the Orc Prince, introduces the story of Taegan and Zorvut, and is meant to be read prior to Blood of the Orc Prince.
