Most people could never kill without regret. I don't have that luxury. I'm an artificial creation who exists solely to follow the orders of a tyrannical maniac. Death is the only constant I know. I want more, so I'm running. What lies beyond the realm of my former master, presents a whole new set of problems, including a mistake that lands me at death's door. I accept that. Welcome it, really. For a relic of war, death is my inevitable release. But fate is a fickle creature. When a dragon saves me—a creature said to be long extinct—then offers me a chance at revenge, I don't know what to believe. Trust gets people killed, but something is different about this creature. Will he give me the freedom I desire, or is my fate sealed when I agree to his terms? --- EXPERIMENTAL HEART (Complete Series) Destiny (#1) Pieces (#2) Secrets (#3) Exposed (#4) Surrendered (#5) Reborn (#6) --- Note: Like all of Shannon Pemrick's work, the Experimental Heart series contains strong language, violence, substance use, love scenes, and difficult situations.

Destiny

Emotions suck. Before he came along, I never knew what it meant to belong. I walked the thin line between life and death. There was no middle-ground. This dragon taught me more than I imagined was possible. With him by my side, everything was right. And then it all fell apart. To keep him safe, I let go of the most important thing to me. It hurt—a lot. I can't dwell on what could have been, when our freedom is on the line. Going back to my old ways proves more difficult than I imagined. And fate... it has a way of getting what it wants. I rebuild the walls inside, to keep me sane, only to have them crumble again. Each trial—each step closer to our freedom—my resolve wavers. And when I face the ultimate test, it's not just my future on the line. --- EXPERIMENTAL HEART (Complete Series) Destiny (#1) Pieces (#2) Secrets (#3) Exposed (#4) Surrendered (#5) Reborn (#6) --- Note: Like all of Shannon Pemrick's work, the Experimental Heart series contains strong language, violence, substance use, love scenes, and difficult situations.

Exposed

Most people know where they belong. As an outcast, even among misfits, I'm not that lucky. It's fine. I don't need them. These walls I've built keep me safe. Until they don't anymore. With the rebellion under way, I have enough on my hands gaining my freedom. So when a dragon cracks the shield I've built around me, it brings forth the darkness contained within and awakens sensations I thought long dead. I do the only thing I know how—fight back. I don't know if it'll be enough this time. The walls around me are crumbling, and I struggle to keep myself safe. Am I doomed to repeat the mistakes of my past? --- EXPERIMENTAL HEART (Complete Series) Destiny (#1) Pieces (#2) Secrets (#3) Exposed (#4) Surrendered (#5) Reborn (#6) --- Note: Like all of Shannon Pemrick's work, the Experimental Heart series contains strong language, violence, substance use, love scenes, and difficult situations.

Pieces

Fear is natural. But not for me. I was designed not to feel emotion. It kept me controlled. It made me a monster. Until I got a taste of what I was missing. Tortured and plagued by my bloody past, I can't let anyone in. They don't want to see the monster lurking inside. The darkness that gnaws at my mind, threatening to consume me. But the past has a way of creeping in when you least expect. When that happens, I find myself turning to the infuriating dragon I've sworn to keep at a distance. But as my secrets spill from the shadows, I don't know if I'm prepared to pay the price my confessions will demand. --- EXPERIMENTAL HEART (Complete Series) Destiny (#1) Pieces (#2) Secrets (#3) Exposed (#4) Surrendered (#5) Reborn (#6) --- Note: Like all of Shannon Pemrick's work, the Experimental Heart series contains strong language, violence, substance use, love scenes, and difficult situations.

Secrets

Everyone wants to be free. I’m no exception. I dream of the day when I no longer answer to anyone else. But to achieve that dream, I have to kill another. And we’re running out of time. Despite the support of countless new allies, things aren’t going according to plan. We’re waging a war with impossible odds. I’m falling for a dragon who’s promised to someone else. And the voice I’m hearing? She’s more important than I first thought. I’m losing track of what I’m fighting for. With everything on the line, failure isn’t an option. And if I make the wrong choice, it will doom us all. --- EXPERIMENTAL HEART (Complete Series) Destiny (#1) Pieces (#2) Secrets (#3) Exposed (#4) Surrendered (#5) Reborn (#6) --- Note: Like all of Shannon Pemrick's work, the Experimental Heart series contains strong language, violence, substance use, love scenes, and difficult situations.

Surrendered

Freedom is everything. I should know, I finally have it. After fighting for my deepest desires for so long, it feels more like a dream than reality. But when I start to get comfortable, I’m reminded of one last task that needs to be done. Only, things don’t go according to plan. From the shadows, old and new enemies spring forth, bent on destroying what I worked so hard to create. It’ll take everything I have, and my unbreakable bond with my life mate, to keep everything from falling apart. And destiny isn’t done with me yet. The fate of the timeline is at stake, and at the end of all this, I may never be the same. --- EXPERIMENTAL HEART (Complete Series) Destiny (#1) Pieces (#2) Secrets (#3) Exposed (#4) Surrendered (#5) Reborn (#6) --- Note: Like all of Shannon Pemrick's work, the Experimental Heart series contains strong language, violence, substance use, love scenes, and difficult situations.

Tales From Thac

The twisted dragon queen stirs… Half-elf Oracle Aviana is no stranger to prophecies. With a strong connection since birth to the dragon god, Akorith, the dissonant whispers of fate have followed her from the beginning. And when an ominous warning foretelling of the destruction of her clan comes her way, she isn’t sure what to make of it. Then when her younger sister needs to be prepared for her coming of age trial—a task that will test the woman’s fortitude and innocence—Aviana is the one tasked with showing her the world outside their secluded town. Her hands full with her sister’s childish nature, a foreboding prophecy is the last thing Aviana needs on her mind. The signs of the prophecy, however, appear: pirate attacks, a fight with a dragon, and crossing paths with a cheerful dwarf and stunted, lecherous elf—and Aviana can’t ignore them. Things go from bad to worse, and she’ll have to trust her intuition and the most unlikely of allies to make it through, or the world will be plunged into chaos… Readers who enjoy epic adventures, fantasy with a healthy dose of romance, and a strong heroine who defies all odds, won’t be able to put down Prophecy of Convergence, leaving you reading long into the night. Buy Prophecy of Convergence and discover for yourself whether one determined Oracle can create her own fate, or whether she’ll be lost in the threads of prophecy… ----- Note: Like all of Shannon Pemrick’s work, the Oracle’s Path series contains strong language, violence, substance use, love scenes(including LGBTQ pairings), and difficult situations.
