The Warrior’s Shade ⊙ Saxen Saga Book 2
A young officer’s past comes to haunt him as he uncovers the secret behind a mysterious weapon.
A fleet for hire.
A mysterious client.
A weapon of mass destruction.
No longer a commander, Boone will come to the rescue of any fleet that will pay him, but he has chased off so many pirates, his clients have no need to call him. His fleet-for-hire is running out of funds—and options.
Things look up when he accepts an operation to retrieve the wreckage of an ancient terraforming machine. He soon realizes the device can be turned into a devastating weapon, and he has no idea who is paying him to find it. Boone’s investigation to find the buyer triggers Coalition Security, who are eager to hunt down this high-profile defector.
But Boone’s inquiry goes too deep, propelling himself and Elyon into a Coalition trap that could lead to their executions.

A gambler escapes his problems.
An assassin murders to survive.
A politician plays them both.
Boone is living the “safe” life—gambling at strategy games to keep his ship flying and his crew paid. Threatened with extradition, he helps the League Intelligence Bureau protect the Disputed Zone from Coalition occupation. But the Coalition Navy is hot on Boone’s tail, and they are eager to use his execution as propaganda.
Elyon is sequestered deep behind “enemy” lines. While executing the assassinations the chairman demands of her, she is gathering intel, undermining his plans, and working toward her escape. She soon discovers that the C.N. has a new weapon that will guarantee the chairman’s coup inflicts a devastating blow to the entire galaxy.
Elyon is betting her life on a plan that could get her killed—and might also unravel everything she and Boone have ever fought for.
Born to Valhalla ߷ A Runes to Ruins Saga
A band of Norse demigod teens investigates horrors and mysteries across 9th Century Europe.
An ongoing series available on REAM.
All gods enjoy their time with mortals, but most abandon their progeny. An elder demigod, Floki Odinson, gathers the abandoned children and trains them to use their gifts—if they inherited any. But not all of these children appreciate their abandonment, their power, or their fate in life. One has taken his frustration to a new level: sowing chaos across the continent, harassing the Christians, and casting the Norse pantheon into a negative light.
In each episode, a handful of these orphans will join together to hunt down this terror. Along the way, they will have to solve the mysteries he has left behind, right his horrifying wrongs, and battle mythical monsters to save their people. All this while navigating the challenges of teen angst, lost and found family, the strains of friendship under duress, and the loneliness that come from being different.
Their god-parents might help, or they might hinder. And other gods may get in the way. Each young person must find their own path, but together they must stop the evil demigod before he destroys the world.
