Ami awakes from years in stasis to find she’s at the edges of deep space, and the only surviving member of her crew. Utterly alone and unable to contact Earth, she sends out a distress beacon, not expecting a response. When she gets one from a being who calls himself Dorian, she’s welcomed onto his ship as he offers his assistance in any way he can. But nothing on Dorian’s ship is as it seems. And as Ami tries to navigate the maze of hallways and first contact with this alien being, a deep hum begins to resonate, haunting her, as if the ship itself is whispering to her.

Thrum

At the center of a forbidden ruin, an artifact of black stone is unearthed. Archaeologist Ru Delara, vilified by the scientific community for believing in magic, is summoned to investigate. But when she arrives, she finds herself inexorably drawn to the artifact, even though it could harbor untold destructive power. Unable to resist its pull, Ru reaches out to touch the stone... Waking in the dark, naked and alone, Ru sees that everything and everyone within a mile radius has been vaporized. Only she and the artifact remain intact. When a windswept stranger called Fen finds her in this vulnerable state, she has no choice but to accept his help. Determined to discover the artifact's true nature, Ru and Fen travel to the Cornelian Tower, the scientific heart of the kingdom. But conspiracy brews in the capital city, and it's clear that Ru isn't the only person with a vested interest in the artifact.Drawn into a conflict they hardly understand, all while contending with a profound and consuming mutual attraction, Ru and Fen must unravel the secrets of the artifact before it falls into the wrong hands... before its darkness engulfs them all.

The Frost Queen's Blade

“You thought you knew pleasure before you met me. You were wrong.”

Kit Fox needs a fresh start. Her essays on quantum physics are too outlandish for the mainstream, and her writing career is fizzling. But things look up when she’s offered the opportunity of a lifetime: a private three-day interview with reclusive billionaire Ian De Leon, inventor of the Pleasurebot. He’s publishing a biography, and he wants Kit to write it.

But Ian has a secret locked away in his sky-high penthouse: the Prototype, a disobedient and unpredictable new Pleasurebot. Against Ian’s explicit wishes, Kit becomes completely enraptured by the Prototype. And what she thought was going to be a standard interview becomes a sickening freefall into obsession, self-discovery, and otherworldly desires.
