Synopsis
Winner of the 2022 National Excellence in Storytelling Award We’re lessers from a servant world. Nobodies. The Blades conquered Earth long ago. They were harsh but absent rulers. We kept our heads down to survive. But something’s happened. Seven of us have accidentally captivated the most important men in the empire. The elite warrior, deadly as the grim reaper, who can't stop his body from reacting to mine… The ruthless leader who keeps me close even though I'm one papercut away from unleashing chaos… The calculating prince who can seize the throne if he listens obediently to my words… The rebel squeezing a kill switch who watches me with fractured silver eyes… The mad scientist who doesn’t expect me to take control of his experiments… The fierce captain who wants me off his warship before the sickness takes hold… The emperor himself stalking toward me with rage flashing in his beautiful silver eyes… These men are dangerous to friends, nightmares to foe, and before us, they never once thought of romance. But in their brutal, protective, obsessive embraces, we're much more than simple “lessers.” We’re overthrowing the empire. * * * This spicy complete 7-book series features unique alien shifters, fierce passion, primal mating bonds, diverse heroines, and epic happily-ever-afters. Each book is a complete romance that can be read as a standalone while building an enthralling, interconnected universe. There is no cheating, no cliffhangers, and A LOT of spicy times. Trigger warnings for the series are the dark gritty world, violence, dubious consent (due to the “love potion” element - all characters, both H and h, are affected), self-harm (one character's past), and medical trauma. This complete collection includes the original six novels ( Sithe, Zai, Ranse, Atana, Ukuri, and Falkion ) and the new novella ( Erion ) plus two bonus stories, “Aizen & Geir” and the all new “An Ordinary Life Five Years After” huge epilogue featuring all the couples plus extra side characters.
