James Enoch is supposed to be dead. Last he knew, his illustrious archaeology career had ended, along with his life, in the fiery climax of a botched excavation. Chief Engineer Lania Surkov, on the other hand, is a disgraced planetologist with no desire beyond restoring her prior standing with the Terran Coalition and returning to Earth. Thawed from cryo-sleep after a century-long journey, these unlikely candidates find themselves tasked with a dangerous mission six lightyears from home.

The planet they land on is supposed to be a barren, lifeless wasteland. However, they are shocked to find that there is a successful, pre-Coalition human colony already thriving planetside, enabled by the enigmatic functions of an alien terraforming device. Tensions boil over into outright hostility as Lania and James become the only things standing between humanity and full-scale interstellar war.

A hunter with a dark past. A mysterious shifter out for vengeance. And a stolen power every monster desires…

I finally get my shot at redemption as part of a supernatural task force only to botch my first assignment in the Underworld.

Great way to let the captain down, Tatum.

A demon artifact sinks its claws into me, and now I’m bound to a vicious shifter who wants to rip me to pieces. Fane Maverick covets the amulet more than my death, though. And he’d do anything to get it.

Wicked. Depraved. Savage.

He’s promised to kill me after we sever the artifact’s hold.

But as the ancient power flows through my veins, a darkness grows. And the only person who can pull me from the brink of destruction is the one who wants me dead.

Trust him, and I may die.

Don’t, and the world will suffer.

When you get up in the morning, the last thing you expect to see is a murdered guy hanging outside your window. Things like that tend to draw the attention of the local police, and when you’re squatting in your parents’ old house until you can afford to buy it, another thing you can’t afford is the attention of the cops.

Oh yeah. Hi. My name is Pet. It’s not my real name, but it’s the only one you’re getting. Things like names are important these days.

And it’s not so much that I’m Pet. I am a pet. A human pet: I belong to the two Behindkind fae and the pouty vampire who just moved into my house. It’s not weird, I promise—well, it is weird, yeah. But it’s not *weird* weird, you know?
