First Blood
Marcelle Sixx - 2019
With a fiery appetite for life after an unexpected heartbreak, he throws himself into the family business and the completion of his schooling, vowing for it to never happen again. His dreams, however, seem to guide him in a different direction. Like his father, and his father before him, Aaron hears and feels who is fated to be his new mate. Sasha Welch—a psychology major who is low on self-esteem—has a chance run in with the prince. Unlike with everyone else’s piercing stares at the scar curving the outer corner of her eye, she doesn’t become self-conscious, rather shaken with her insides on fire. Aaron seems to make her womanly walls clench without saying a single word. The connection between the two is so strong that Aaron is more than willing to teach Sasha what a dominant of his character is really all about. However, his goldie-loc ex,Melanie, isn’t allowing another woman to come in between the man she left, and her love. With a new set of claws, Melanie says to hell with so-called fate and sets out to reclaim the man she turned her back on before he receives his crown, and before he can place a pretty tiara on someone else’s head.
The Complete Revanche Cycle
Craig Schaefer - 2016
As Pope Benignus withers on his deathbed, conspiracies swirl across the empire. Bounty hunters and assassins flock to the frozen north, searching a city of thieves for an exiled politician while a storm of war and witchcraft brews on the horizon. As gambits play out, contenders die and the dominoes fall, a rare few will determine the course of history. Livia Serafini. Pious. Zealous. Driven. With her sights set upon her father's throne, Livia refuses to be a pawn of the conspirators that surround her. She'll risk it all to rise above the tempest and lead her people to peace. Her pure-hearted ambitions may cost more than she knows: her reputation, her life, even her very soul. Mari Renault. Honorable. Brutal. Lost. A war orphan from a land under a conqueror's yoke, Mari is haunted by the horrors of her past and an impossible dream of knighthood. When she finds her dark savior, she'll learn how dreams can come true...and how a ragged refugee girl can become a champion of the night. The Owl. Brilliant. Ruthless. Sadistic. The witch and her disciples, on a mission of vengeance, are lured into the battle for control of the papacy. Despite all of her well-laid plans, the Owl soon finds herself walking a strange and twisted road. One that pits her against the most deadly foe of all -- her own coven -- and rekindles passion in her ice-sheathed heart. Renata Nicci. Honest. Devoted. Daring. She's just a dockside tavern barmaid. That's what everyone tells her. That's all anyone ever expected her to be. But when her lover Felix is swept into a battle between banking families and the machinations of a criminal kingpin, she'll take up a blade and cross a war-ravaged land to save him. Four women, four lives on a collision course. When the dust settles, their world will never be the same...if anyone is still alive to see it. Collected for the first time, this omnibus includes all four books (roughly 400,000 words) of the Revanche Cycle: Winter's Reach, The Instruments of Control, Terms of Surrender, and Queen of the Night, all at a special box-set price.
