Blades of Arris Complete Collection

We’re lessers from a servant world. Nobodies.

The Blades conquered Earth long ago. They were harsh but absent rulers. We kept our heads down to survive.

But something’s happened.

Seven of us have accidentally captivated the most important men in the empire.
• The elite warrior, deadly as the grim reaper, who can’t stop his body from reacting to mine…
• The ruthless leader who keeps me close even though I’m one papercut away from unleashing chaos…
• The calculating prince who can seize the throne if he listens obediently to my words…
• The rebel squeezing a kill switch who watches me with fractured silver eyes…
• The mad scientist who doesn’t expect me to take control of his experiments…
• The fierce captain who wants me off his warship before the sickness takes hold…
• The emperor himself, stalking toward me with rage flashing in his beautiful silver eyes…

These men are dangerous to friends, nightmares to foe, and before us, they never once thought of romance.

But in their brutal, protective, obsessive embraces, we’re much more than simple “lessers.”

We’re overthrowing the empire.

SITHE

The Arrisans conquered Earth in a day.

They smashed into our helpless planet like a wrecking ball, and overnight, everything changed.

That’s what our history books say.

The truth is, I’ve never seen an Arrisan face-to-face. But when my lone medical ship is attacked by ruthless pirates, the hunter catches up to them.

Cloaked in assassin’s gray, metal scythes fused to his wrist-bones, he is the grim reaper of the conquerors . The Arrisan elite special forces. A blade.

Luckily, he’s in a good mood standing in the ruins of my bridge, so he lets me live. After all, I’m just a lesser. Clearly I’m no threat.

Until his body starts reacting to mine…

From the author of the Lords of Atlantis and Onyx Dragons comes a dazzling new series full of unique alien shifters, fierce passion, and loyal warriors who find their fated mates in the stars. Each full-length book is a complete romance with an epic happily-ever-after. Claim your conqueror today!

ZAI

I will destroy all threats to the empire with unrelenting force. Even if that threat comes in the form of a weak, fragile lesser with night-black hair and beguiling eyes.

The blades. Elite forces of the empire, nightmare to all servant-world residents just trying to scrape by. Of course I have to flee when my medical ship comes under attack.

But my escape pod is captured by their ruthless leader.

His face is hidden in an assassin’s cowl. Metal sai weapons are fused to his wristbones. He can fly between spaceships like an owl and execute enemies through a hull.

Yet according to him, I’m the dangerous one.

His people’s lust metal has gotten in my blood. They’ll tear each other apart trying to get to me. And then? Because they can’t understand their feelings, they’ll tear me apart, too.

So he’s taking me to the Arsenal, a massive station teeming with his blades, where I’m one papercut away from unleashing hyperviolent zombie hordes.

Well, okay.

I’m lucky he’s the one who captured me. He senses the lust metal inside me, he understands the desires burning us both with unrelenting need, and he’s completely unaffected.

Or, well, mostly...

RANSE

I am a lesser? From a servant world? A nobody?

What a joke.

The man who discounts me is the one who loses.

Because me? I know royalty when I see it.

They call me the Kingmaker.

And I am never wrong.

Even on an alien world, he will do anything to possess me.

The Prince of Blades.

His world is in shambles.

His conquerors have turned against him.

All because of a few pesky lessers like me.

I can make him into an emperor.

I can fix his fractured world and bring his generals into line.

But he might not like who he has to become to win.

Us lessers aren't exactly who they thought, ha ha.

And me?

Well, I have a few secrets of my own.

And I'll only reveal those to a true king.

* * *

ATANA

I am a lesser from a servant world.

But even before I was taken?

There was no rescue for me.

The night sky isn’t the only place that’s filled with darkness.

And cages look different, but they’re all the same.

I might be fragile as glass, but I shielded my daughter with my own body. I’ll withstand these brutal aliens.

Their leader. The one who has blades in his wrists and a fractured look in his eyes? I’m all that stands between him and Earth.

But now I think I have the advantage.

Because he sees through me, which means he doesn't see what's right in front of him.

And I’m not afraid of anything.

This glass holds oceans. Planets. Stars.

Just try and make me break.

*** Contains unique alien shifters, fierce passion, and loyal warriors who find their fated mates in the stars. Each full-length book is a complete romance with an epic happily-ever-after. Claim your conqueror today!

UKURI

I’m in love with a villain.

Ice-cold smile, shiny collection of scalpels, and he’s eager to use them on me.

Joke's on you, mad scientist.

I've been trying to cut this sickness out of me since forever. Not all scars are in a place that you can see.

In your frigid alien embrace, I've found myself.

So why the hesitation in those pretty silver eyes?

You’re the big bad conqueror. I’m just an ordinary human.

Right?

Put me in your maze.

Let the experiment begin.

Contains unique alien shifters, fierce passion, and fated mates who defy everything to be together! Although it continues plot lines from the previous novels, this complete, self-contained, epic happily-ever-after can be read as a stand-alone.

TRIGGER WARNING: self-harm, suicide

FALKION

Our relationship is complex.

His ancestors took over my planet.

I’m descended from the few who survived.

To say we have issues is to put it mildly.

He wants me off his warship.

I’m more than happy to oblige.

The ones who stay end up love-sick. Bound to one of them for all time.

I’m immune.

Luckily.

Their sickness will never be mine.

Except…

I might be immune, but he’s not.

Now the worst thing has happened.

I’m panicking and out of time.

My enemy is hunting.

Obsessed with one prey.

Me .

And somehow this might actually be fine…

Falkion and Zeerah’s story is book six in the Blades of Arris series!

This series contains unique alien shifters, fierce passion, and couples who defy everything to be together. Although it continues plot lines from the previous novels, this complete, self-contained, epic happily-ever-after can be read as a stand-alone.

ERION

I am a forgotten lesser from a former servant world.

The first to voyage across deadly space, knock on the spiky palace door, and demand entry.

But something went wrong.

My mission failed.

Now my family and friends are long gone. Others accomplished what I sacrificed everything for. All that’s left are nightmares and suspicious scars.

Then one day the emperor bursts into my lounge.

He stalks toward me, his beautiful silver eyes flashing with rage.

It turns out my snarky, boredom-inspired annotations on his personal records weren’t so private.

And now that I’ve captured his interest, he’s holding me in his thrall...

This spicy, emotional novella filled with delicious longing is the final capstone in the Blades of Arris alien romance series. It’s not necessary to read the other books in the series to appreciate this one but it does feature characters introduced in Ranse . Two lost souls defy everything to fall in love, and in so doing, change the empire…You will love this story!

From Sithe — Chapter 1: Catarine

The last thing I hear before I sneak out is my mom agreeing the planet Vanadis is terribly far away.

“But she hasn’t been responding to the new drugs,” my mother murmurs into the portable viewscreen while she sits alone on our single living room couch. “The Vanadisans have more medical knowledge than any other race. I’m sure this is what she wants.”

I can’t hear my dad’s response on the viewscreen.

My mom glances over her shoulder at where I linger in the shadowed hallway. She tilts the screen away. “Don’t cry right now, Mat. Did you ask about the advance?”

That’s how I know she doesn’t see me. They never talk about money in front of me. They don’t want me to worry.

My throat tightens.

I’m sorry, Mom and Dad.

I time the movement of our all-female guards outside the brick building, disable the alarm, and slip out the side door into the tight alleyway.

When I’m seeking my fix, I am strangely clever. My brain clears away the fog just long enough to get what I need.

And I must be clearheaded right now.

I take side streets through New Brussels to the club zone wearing my sheer white bodysuit, fur-lined heels, and neurolink cat ears. The color contrasts nicely against my golden-beige skin and dark brown hair. They know me at all the local places, bars repurposed from chunks of old buildings, so I can’t actually go inside. But it’s enough to be close by.

I make the recording while I walk.

Mom and Dad, you did your best to raise me and love me, and I’m sorry it wasn’t enough.

Sending me away is the best choice right now. I promise it’s going to be great.

So don’t worry about me, okay?

Someday, I’ll stand before you and show you the amazing things I’ve done. I’ll be myself again. I’ll be well.

I’ll be the daughter who makes you proud.

Someday.

A man calls out in the local French, “Hey, catgirl! You need a fix, babe?”
