Peace never comes without blood.

The disappearance of Ha’ven Ha’darra threatens to shatter the fragile alliance between the Curizan, Sarafin, and Valdier, reopening old wounds that have not healed. As suspicion spreads and loyalties strain, the truth emerges almost too late.

Betrayal strikes hard, and this time, it strikes close.

Vox d’Rojah hesitates to bring his suspicions to Creon Reykill, knowing how thin the thread of trust between them truly is. But with Ha’ven’s life hanging in the balance, Vox has no choice. If they are to find him, their uneasy alliance must prove stronger than the enemies determined to tear it apart.

As deception tightens its grip, three extraordinary men are forged by loss, fury, and hard-won resolve, each becoming more dangerous than before. Because in a war built on lies, trust is the most fragile weapon of all…

…and survival may come from a place no one expects.

Teaser/Excerpt:

Ha’ven hung in the restraints, his head bowed, blood drying in dark lines down his jaw. The shocks had stopped his heart more than once already. He remembered the flatline. The weightless drift. The silence.

And then the violent wrench back.

Each revival brought something with it.

Something that did not belong to light.

It churned inside him now, coiled, starving, furious.

Black bands swirled through the gold of his aura, thickening, spreading like oil in flame. They had never been there. Not in training. Not in battle. Not in rage.

This was different.

This was older.

    Hi! I recently cleaned up my library and am trying to get all of your books. I saw the Prince book and I’ve seen some I don’t have. I clicked and I can download them but there is a deluxe version. What is the difference? I REALLY love your books and want them all! I met you at a book fair in Lebanon, TN, several years ago and was so happy to meet you–one of my favorite authors!

      Hi Sanda! Oh my gosh—I remember that event in Lebanon, TN! That brings back such great memories. It means so much to me that you’ve stayed with my stories all these years. Truly—thank you for that. 💛 And I love that you’re building your collection! The difference between the versions is pretty simple (if I understand what you are asking ie; Bundle):

      The standard version is the ebook only—the story itself.

      The deluxe version includes the ebook plus extras, which can include things like the audiobook, bonus content, behind-the-scenes material, or other fun goodies depending on the book.

      I created the deluxe versions for readers who want a little more of the experience, but if you’re just looking to read the story, the standard version is absolutely perfect.

      If you ever want help figuring out what you already have or what you might be missing, just let me know—I’m always happy to help you complete your collection! And thank you again for your kind words. Messages like yours mean more than you know.

      Hugs,
      Susan
