In Laria, the truth cuts as sharp as a blade. Former captain Yala Palathar and her allies prevented the god of death from claiming another city, but at a cost. Now, war threatens between Laria and their rival nation of Rafragoria after half a decade of peace, and tensions in the capital are at an all-time high. While the unprepared monarch tries to keep everything under control, it seems inevitable that Yala and her surviving squad-mates will be called to battle once again. To complicate matters, bodies are washing up on Laria’s shores, corrupted by Mekan’s insidious magic. Yala is certain that someone is trying to push their nation into a fight that will achieve nothing but a fresh wave of souls to feed the god of death, but the Disciples of the Flame are determined to burn away the evidence - literally. As Dalathar comes ever closer to boiling over in chaos, Yala must choose whether to reveal the secrets that will either save everyone from an avoidable war… or shatter the fragile peace holding Laria together.

This story is about exposing the corruption that is rampant in Australia. As I prove in the book, everybody has their price. This story shows Australia to be a very violent country even today and tells how the gangs in the cities and the country can plot your downfall and how the establishments play their part to bring it about (read all about how they are more rotting to the core the further up the tree you go). I can prove a certain state in Australia has no law, only gangland law. The story rolls on from the deserts of Australia from an early career supplying the meat trade. This part will appeal to rural Australia to starting a small business in the city to the best state to live in and gold, prospecting also my experiences with Australia's allusive black panthers, which I have given my opinions and some evidence while I lived amongst them. When I was prospecting in Australia, I had a lot of evidence of corruption in Australia. I also offered my opinions on a lot of issues, photos of lots of gold nuggets, and suggestions on how to drive correctly and reduce the road toll, as well as suggestions on how to keep the coppers off the individual's back (lone men). A must read for even those on the inside and the majority who are on the outside. Also read about my harrowing experiences with Australia's black panthers and how I am looking forward to more of them through to final eventual discovery of the animal.

Johanna Adalwolf has spent years avoiding the Lariat Clan and the wolf who resides there. She wants nothing to do with Nicolas Olcan and his playboy ways. With her business on the edge of greatness and an opportunity to enter the Race Games appearing, she can feel success on the horizon. But fate has a funny way of messing things up. The wolf clan alphas will only approve her entry under one condition: Race with Nicolas, or don’t race at all. Now she’s stuck with the arrogant wolf she hoped to never see again, fated or not. The last time they’d seen each other, she’d given him a swift kick in the shins and some choice words, but the Nicolas who appears has grown up. She shouldn’t be giving him side glances and thinking about how things could be different, not with so much at stake. It should have been easy— enter the Race games, win, take home the prize— but it’s clear from the beginning that things aren’t as they seem with the Supernatural Council or The Games. At every turn, someone is trying to stop them from crossing the finish line. The corruption runs deep, and without realizing it, Johanna and Nicolas find themselves in the thick of it. Someone doesn’t want the wolves to race. Too bad the wolves were always meant to run wild. . .

A runaway scholar. A warrior haunted by his past. And the curse that will break them… or bind them forever. Hypatia dreamed of becoming an academic—until her research was used for treason. When her past threatens to catch up with her, the mage decides to seek safety abroad. But in so doing, she’s tricked into taking another’s place as the bride of a grim warrior on a monster-infested frontier. Obsessed with fame and fortune, Sigimar gained glory battling the curse shrouding a nearby kingdom—and lost his brother in the process. Disillusioned and grief-stricken, the hulking elf is ordered to marry a princess whose magic can keep the curse at bay. Except he weds Hypatia, a beautiful substitute he yearns for but knows he must set free. Hypatia refuses to become monster fodder, which means journeying to Sigimar’s king to dissolve their marriage contract. Yet in the shelter of Sigimar’s embrace she finds a kindred spirit and an inescapable passion. Can she muster the courage to face certain death, or will she choose her freedom and abandon the gentle warrior she’s come to love?
