No one fights dirtier than an archaeologist.

​Dr. Nel Bently has barely dug into Chile’s dry earth when her pristine site is vandalized. Her archaeologist’s dream of a ground-breaking project funded by a private patron turns into a nightmare: local activists Los Pobladores take issue with anyone brave--or stubborn--enough to set boots on their land. And foul-mouthed Nel is stubborn as they come.

Despite the danger, Nel refuses to surrender her site to vandals. Easier said than done, however, with the greenest crew she’s ever trained, absurd radiocarbon dates, and angry militants who may actually have a point.

When Los Pobledores land a blow that turns Nel’s world upside down, she realizes her mysterious benefactor is playing chess with their lives. Grief-stricken and angrier than ever, Nel is ready to fight dirty.

The only person on Earth she trusts...is in space.

Archaeologist Nel Bently left Chile in the wake of murder, vandalism, and UFO sightings. Then, just as her teaching semester begins, cops are at her door. Accused of a murder she’s fairly certain she didn’t commit, Nel has no choice but to go on the run. She flees across New England, following her gut and clues left by her elusive alien-benefactor-turned-almost-girlfriend.

But running from the law isn’t easy with only her field pack and a handful of scorned exes to depend on. Between starvation, untraceable texts, and a harrowing journey through the wilderness, Nel is forced to question everything about the science she loves and the people she trusted.

Sounds kill, so how can Nel make the world listen?

​Archaeologist Nel Bently dreamed of finding a ground-breaking site--she just never thought it would be on another planet. When she arrives on Samsara however, Lin confesses the trip took longer than Nel thought. Two years longer. Throwing her anger and homesickness into her work, Nel wonders if she just made the biggest mistake of her life.

Then one of her team's lead officers takes a walk without his atmosuit. Once again, grief and confusion rock Nel's dig. But this time, she's determined to fix it--even if it means mutiny.

​Lightyears separate her from home and as Samsara's body count rises, the more it looks like Earth is next.

Without Earth, Nel has nowhere to run.

Hot-tempered Dr. Nel Bently is not cut out to save the world. After her last project ended in fire and death, Nel must put aside her distrust of just about everyone and embark on a lo-fi search for a deadly radio transmission.

Earth’s survivors are torn between the austere superpower of IDH and the high-tech grassroots Los Pobledores. At every turn more allies go missing and Nel questions where everyone’s true loyalties lie--and on which side Lin will fall when a line is finally drawn.

They need experts. They need firepower. But it looks like the only thing standing between Earth and devastation is Nel: archaeologist, asshole, and functioning alcoholic with anger issues.

The body count is rising, and so is Nel's temper.

Archaeologist Dr. Nel Bently has spent her life avoiding clingy exes, but she never dreamed she’d be escaping across the stars. Now she and a fleet of refugees are hunted at every turn by the only woman she ever made the mistake of loving. And Nel, used to outrunning everything, just lost a leg.

Facing her life’s new trajectory is hard enough, but when Nel starts hearing the deadly signal they tracked on Earth, she is forced to team up with the two men who were once her greatest enemies. Then, a grisly discovery on an abandoned hauler sheds horrific light on the voices in Nel’s head–and what, exactly, Lin is after.

Their hold is full of bodies, their plans are full of holes, and bad-tempered Dr. Nel Bently, avoidant-extraordinaire, is sick of running.

Samsara’s dead have chosen Nel. And the cacophony calls for justice.

Archaeologist Dr. Nel Bently has never been farther from home. With a tenuous ceasefire from Lin’s rebellion force and genocidal Harris behind electrobars, Nel dares to hope she might finally return to Earth. But the nagging whispers that dogged her flight are much, much louder. Nel is no stranger to giving a story and voice to the dead, but she never thought it would be so literal.
​
With the ghostly cacophony calling for justice, she and Lin set out across the sinister jungle of the Nalawangsa estate. The depths of the overgrown satellite hold the terrible secret behind Samsara’s ghosts, but unless she and Lin can work together, Nel will lose more than just her leg. And their incendiary relationship isn’t helped by the fact that Nel can’t decide whether she wants to kiss Lin, or blast her out the nearest airlock.

Dar is comatose, Emilio is exhausted, and the dead need a voice. But Dr. Nel Bently is far better at wielding her temper and trowel than her words.

Emissaries is the final book in the Nel Bently arc and arrives November 23rd 2024!

Some heroes are as broken as the world they must reforge.

​​A mad king’s genocide destroyed Alea's home and left her sanity in tatters. Wracked with grief, she now faces a lonely life in a strange city. The war has other plans. Caught in the crossfire between the gods and their creators, Alea’s new friend Arman abandons his idyllic jeweler’s life—and his humanity—to protect them both from the coming terror.

Across enemy lines, bastard lieutenant Brentemir Barrackborn is horrified by the blood on his hands. If he has any hope of redemption—or surviving the war—he must choose between his newfound family and the gods he worships.

As Arman and Brentemir's sacrifices grow, Alea realizes that only the darkness inside her can end the bloodshed.

How can they win a war when their greatest enemies are themselves?

​Blood stains the land. With the gods' desperation, Azirik's mania grows. Away from her newfound family, Alea struggles to control the horrors in her mind and the power in her veins. What she must learn, however, is very different from the lessons the Laen wish to teach.

Stuck waiting in a foreign city, Arman wrestles with new, fathomless fury. Coupled with the inertia of battle, his rage shatters friendships and taints alliances. Meanwhile, Bren takes up the battered kingdom his father cast aside, wrestling with his own idealism and the darkness growing within his sister.

​Lives depend on what they learn, but war does not make time for history lessons.

The war against the gods was just the beginning.

Mending the world unleashed chaos. With Alea and Arman gone and the queen dead, Athrolan faces civil war. The kingdom fractures between two heirs—the disinherited and senile Daymir Blackhouse, and the Dhoah’ Laen’s rumored child. Except Alea’s mad son never knew of the power in his veins. Imprisoned in Ban, which teeters on the edge of its own war, his fragile mind may not survive the week, let alone a battle for the crown.
​
Rih, the soldier who found him and daughter to the Banis emperor, sees more than an enemy in Athrolan, and uses her inability to speak to burgeon her growing rebellion.

​Whoever runs from the crown faster—and survives their bloodline’s curse—will determine the Athrolani heir.

Saving the world may have doomed them all.

Keplan reels in the wake of grief and guilt at the blood on his hands. Outside the city walls, however, winter grows fiercer and droughts longer. Alea reforged the fractured world twenty years before--so why is it withering before his eyes? Then, just as he masters being a monarch, a prophet arrives spouting scripture about a One True God. Keplan’s own mother killed the last gods, yet this one matches his description perfectly--and its wrath is about to fall upon Athrolan.

Isolated within the same cold, marble walls as Athrolan’s murderous king, Rih struggles to plot her rebellion leagues away from everything she has ever known. With an unexpected ally, she may have finally found a way to the Mirikin Hetmir--until tragedy strikes. With religious fanatics at their walls, blight in their fields, and a king floundering from addiction, Athrolan spirals out of control.

​Now Rih must choose between a mad king’s life and her own revolution.
