Green Horizon: Storm Knight IV by Zachary Watson (Zachary M Watson) (5 Reviews)    Price verified 7 hours ago

I'd hoped that escaping from the Faithful would be the end of our troubles. That after a year of captivity, torture, and loss, we would finally be free. Instead it seems our struggles are doomed to continue. We may have escaped, but we're low on food, water, and fuel for our stolen ship. A ship carrying us into a storm of Warlords, Pirates, and Slavers. Into a region wracked by the greatest war it has seen in a generation, a war that has seen its balance of power completely torn asunder. A region where the Faithful could be anywhere. Ready and waiting to silence us before we can make it home. We'll be ready for them. We have to be. We won't survive if we aren't.

Howling Winds: Storm Knight III by Zachary Watson (4 Reviews)    Price verified 7 hours ago

We'd shut down a smuggling operation that spanned from the Empire to the far end of the Near Reaches. Helped destroy a conspiracy's training facility, capturing or killing hundreds of people who'd been working against our nation. All I wanted to do was go home. Rest before our next mission. To help put an end to that project so that we could move on to another. Instead I was drugged, abducted, and shoved into a prison cell aboard a ship. I had no weapons, no armor, no equipment. No way to call for help, no way to tell my pack that I was still alive. That I needed their help. Instead I have a sealed door, gruel for food, and a cellmate I can't understand. I have no idea where we're being taken. Why we were taken. Who else is on this ship with me. All I know is that my luck had better turn around soon, or else I'll be too dead to find the answers to those questions.
