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.

The Lost Knight VI: Einherjar by Zachary Watson (14 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

There is nothing worse than chasing revenge... and being forced to give up the man you've sworn to kill. Even when you had to do it just to survive. His time would come. But in the aftermath of Zadith, even I could admit we weren't in any shape to go after him. More than a year of constant battle had worn me down to the point where I needed a break. Needed some time to recover, prepare, to figure out just what my partner meant to me. Time to figure out where I fit in the alien pack that has come to mean family. A trip to her homeworld, to Xentha itself, might help with all of those things. Or it'll leave us fighting for our lives against a whole new group of less than friendly people. You know. One or the other. Either way I felt certain that our time was running out. That as the war pushed into its third year, as it kept grinding worlds, fleets, and lives to dust, that sooner or later Krom would get the better of us once again. That he might find a way to kill someone I couldn't lose. That he might win the game he began when he killed people I'd come to love. I didn't know how things would turn out... but I knew that I would die before I let that happen. The next time would be the last time. I'd grab every ally I could. I'd go to any world in the galaxy to find him. I was going to end this once and for all.
