Nothing sane travels the starway. Today it brings disaster.

In the far future, humanity settles the stars, bioengineering its descendants to survive in a harsh universe. This is the second book in the science fiction series, The Backworlds. A space opera adventure.

Revenge is on Craze’s mind. He chews on it every day along with the relentless dust on Pardeep Station. He dreams of grander wealth, enough to make his father choke.

That’s the dream consuming him when the interstellar portal opens, spitting out a ship that should no longer exist. A battleship spoiling for a fight. Yet the war with the Foreworlds ended two generations ago.

One wrong move and the shaky truce will end. So will Craze and his friends.

I wasn’t the kind of girl to believe in magic.

Not even with my odd skillset.

I stayed that way until magic walked right into my life in the form of a hot, brooding dragon prince.

The moment I met Prince Rone was . . . tense to say the least, but after a shocking street-side brawl we had a second chance to get to know one another.

And learn we both possessed what the other needs.

Now I’m on a wild hunt, trying to find a safe home for dragon eggs while being chased by murderous crazies who want all the dragons dead.

The weird thing is that despite the danger, for the first time in my life I finally feel like I might fit in someplace—and maybe with someone.

I just need to live long enough to find out if my intuition regarding Rone and this strange new world are right.

This collection contains three full-length novels:
Dragon Prince
Dragon Magic
Dragon Mates

In the far future, humanity settles the stars, bioengineering its descendants to survive in a harsh universe. This is the first book in the science fiction series, The Backworlds. A space opera adventure.

After the war with the Foreworlders, Backworlders scatter across the remaining planets. Competition is fierce, and pickings are scant. Scant enough that Craze’s father decides to improve his fortunes by destroying his son. He tells his only boy their moon isn’t big enough for them both and gives Craze a ticket for the next transport leaving the space dock.

Cut off from everyone he knows with little money and no knowledge of the worlds beyond, Craze must find a way to forge a new life and make his father regret this day. First, he must survive.

Out of fifty thousand, only thirty-three survived the Keseburg and the alien AI called Issk’ath. Hurtling toward an unfamiliar planet with few supplies and no preparation, they believe they are the last of humanity.

But Indra, trapped inside Issk’ath’s colony, knows better. What she uncovers of the Keseburg’s past forces her to confront the lies that governed her entire history. Her thirst for justice leads the colony down an ever darker path that risks them all.

Issk’ath must make a choice: Betray its directives to save them and face its own termination, or help Indra get the justice she is bent on and risk Earth, itself.

The Keseburg once boasted a complement of fifty thousand.

Generations of hardship, space hazards and disease have whittled it down to just under thirty thousand.

That was the number when a small crew of resource miners departed on a routine asteroid run three months ago.

But when they return home to the ship, all traces of their friends and family are gone. The Keseburg is silent, adrift, and running out of fuel.

Sixteen hundred years ago, they fled Earth. Now their long journey may finally be at an end. None of them have ever walked on soil, felt rain, or breathed unrecycled air.

Their resources nearly spent, they sent a last exploratory mission to a new planet. It’s ideal… but they are not alone.

In the struggle for survival, they must make a choice. Sacrifice another species or accept their own extinction. And time is running out.
