Divide by Two

Sandra Bard

Sinossi

Sequel to Divided Within
In a universe fractured by political corruption, experimental technology, and alien life forms, Commander Izaak has tried to leave his life of command behind. But some battles don't end on the Nullands, and he doesn't know any other way to survive than by fighting.
Years earlier, Izaak Van Tassel was branded a criminal and sentenced to the First Fighters to serve out his term. Now, finally free, he prepares to leave that life behind -- but not alone. Accompanying him are three people who shape his world.
Vincent, his lover, is temperamental, fiercely protective, and jealous of anyone who interacts with Izaak. Their relationship is mutual, built on recognition of each other's emotional and physical presence, though the future remains uncertain. Vincent also harbors a deep dislike for Tarn.
Tarn is Izaak's closest operative and field companion, their bond forged through years of trust, respect, and professional understanding. Tarn is fiercely loyal and protective of Izaak, and their relationship carries an undercurrent of personal care beyond duty. Their first mission together had sent them to a windy, distant planet to rescue a doomed exploration team, a mission that shaped their lives and defined their bonds.
Calvin, Tarn's lover, is young and earnest, a protégé figure who admires Izaak both professionally and personally. Less experienced and often in awe, he is closely watched over by Tarn, leaving Izaak to balance mentorship with leadership.
But when an accident in space splits the group, Izaak finds himself stranded on a crippled ship with Calvin, while Tarn, struggling with failing health, must manage the volatile Vincent and navigate the treacherous corridors of the space station Seven Sisters. As tensions mount and loyalties are tested, Izaak uncovers a connection between their current crisis and that first fateful mission, forcing him to confront both the ghosts of the past and the uncertain future of those he cares for most.

Daughters of Chaos

Jen Fawkes

AN EPIC NOVEL ABOUT CIVIL WAR–ERA NASHVILLE’S “PUBLIC WOMEN,” AN AGE-OLD SECRET SOCETY, AND THE EARTH-SHAKING POWER OF THE FEMALE 
 
In 1862, after a tragedy at home, twenty-two-year-old Sylvie Swift parts ways with her twin brother to trace the origins of an enigmatic playscript that’s landed on their doorstep. This text leads her to Nashville, an occupied city bustling with soldiers, saboteurs, partisans, powerful men—and powerful women. Sylvie translates the playscript by day, but at night, drawn into the work by the chief of the Union Army’s Secret Service, she acts as a spy. 
 
Both endeavors acquaint her with a sisterhood whose members—including Hannah, a fiery revolutionary to whom Sylvie is increasingly drawn—possess potentially monstrous powers. Sylvie soon becomes entangled in the Cult of Chaos, a feminist society steadfast in its ancient mission to eradicate the violence of men. 
 
Inspired by Aristophanes’ Lysistrata and the true story of Nashville’s attempt to exile its prostitutes during the American Civil War, Daughters of Chaos weaves together “found” texts, fabulism, and queer themes to question familiar notions of history and family, warfare and power. 
 
“A dazzling synthesis of history, myth, and sheer invention. Fawkes is a bold, wild, funny writer, unafraid of taking risks. I’m eager to see what she does next.”—Charles Yu, National Book Award–winning author of Interior Chinatown
