Wolves of Sorrow

Map of Barif, home of the Rifaniir

Descendents of the first experiments of a fledgling Genetics Modification program, the wolves have faced bands of raiders, attacks from the Mourning Sun nest of adders, and the toxic haze that sweeps across Earth Prime. Now they face a new life on Barif, a lush tropical planet in the Maiveth System.

Each wolf must face their own challenges, fight their own battles to find their places among the Rifaniir people and claim a mate of their very own.

The Wolves of Sorrow is timeline-adjacent to and set in the fictional world of The Edgeworld Chronicles. Each book should stand alone but will reference events from previous books in the series.


Shoba

Earth.

A mythical paradise to those who’ve left it. A barren wasteland racing against time for those left behind.

Shoba is one of the ones left behind.

Grief-stricken after the death of her parents, she crossed the wastes to find a new pack, a new home in Sorrow. But her wolf is too strong to suit the elders’ plans for the pack, and the haze continues to prey upon those the humans left behind.

When a science vessel answers their distress beacon and offers the pack a new home on a new planet, Shoba expects the cost to be high, to discover a hidden motive to the Rifaniir’s generous offer. What she didn’t expect was her reaction to the Kaleidoscope’s captain.

Dangerous and intriguing. Captain Vaistu Elloufen threatens her plans and draws her wolf like none other. But the captain hides a secret, and the whispers which followed her across the wastes to Sorrow stalk the corridors of the Kaleidoscope. The journey is rife with unknown dangers, but one thing is certain: Once again she must fight for what she wants most.

And what she wants is the alluring Rifaniir captain.

Brienne

Control.

It’s the guiding principle of Brienne’s life.

Restrain the wolf.

Remain calm.

No extreme emotions.

A cage to keep her sane and safe. Built on love and reenforced with fear.

On the Kaleidoscope, the cage shattered and left Brienne frantic to regain the peace she’d lost.

Combat training eases her aggression. Work with the pack keeps her mind occupied. They are but temporary bandages that fix nothing. Until she stumbles across a deserted beach with the familiar feel of sand beneath her feet. Only there, with the Tyelann Sea stretching toward the horizon and the crashing waves a soothing song, can her wolf rest.

Or she could if the aggravating, alluring Xaeth Aliir would go away. The Rifaniir male intrigues the wolf and awakens desires she’d thought buried in Sorrow. When the ka-Razheen invites her on a diplomatic trip to Zephyr’s Rest, Brienne welcomes the chance to reconnect with her adopted sister and find peace away from the pack and its memories of betrayal.

But death stalks the floating city, leaving a trail only a wolf can follow. With Xaeth at her side, Brienne must use her nascent tracking skills to catch a killer and choose between a life of safety and control or glorious freedom as the woman she was always meant to be.

Izabel

Izabel Canavar has a plan.

Learn the Rifaniir’s medical technology. Integrate that technology into her pack’s emergency first aid training. Leave behind the elders and the secrets they forced upon her on Sorrow.

But everything changes when a dance in a rainstorm brings her face to face with Ranoch Til, the Rifaniir Security Director assigned to the wolf community. Broad and ruggedly handsome, Ranoch’s protective strength soothes her healer’s heart while his scent captivates her wolf.

When flirtation turns to slow, deep kisses, Izabel dares to dream of a future with her director. But the intrigues aboard the Kaleidoscope continue to ripple throughout Korlyn’s Glen. With the deaths of the traitors, protests morph into violence and Ranoch and Izabel are caught in the middle.

As they battle to save the victims of the latest attack, the first hints of a deeper plot emerge and bring with them the secret Izabel fought to leave in Sorrow. Now she must face her past if she’s to make her place in this new world and claim a Rifaniir mate of her own.

Jelayan

Six months.

Of peace. Of plenty. Of security after a lifetime of uncertainty in Sorrow. It should have felt like paradise. It doesn’t. Not for a honed warrior used to long scavenger runs to keep her primal nature in check.

So when a stealth mission into a neighboring province drops into her lap, Jelayan pounces on it. There are just two problems: The mission comes with a partner, and their cover story is a relationship which has to convince more than just the enemy.

Jelayan doesn’t need a babysitter, especially one as dangerously sexy as Kellan Avelaño. But she’s forgotten one very important detail. Her partner is Rifaniir, and ambush predators strike when least expected.

When he decides to change the rules, their glorious night of passion changes everything. Now, she must fight her past. Fight her fear that everyone she loves will leave her. Fight to hold on to this man she didn’t want and now can’t live without.

Because more than just their mission is at stake. Kellan is Jelayan’s mate, and she’s a possessive beast.

Sorcha

Sorcha Novik longs to leave her past behind. Sorrow means fear and pain and the weight of never being enough. Not strong enough. Not dominant enough. Not wolf enough. She finds contentment in the intricacies of the electrical systems vital to the wolves’ survival and joy in learning the technology of her new world.

Then she meets Zahar. He’s handsome, playful, and seems to genuinely see her. Not the warrior her father wanted her to be or the submissive many of the pack treated her as. He sees her and seems to like what he sees.

But Zahar isn’t who she believes him to be, and Sorcha carries scars deeper than just her skin. They rip open during a summer storm and nip at her heels throughout her postgraduate assessment. While she and Zahar navigate a relationship Sorcha never expected but cannot live without, they find themselves targets in the saboteurs’ vengeful game.

Can Sorcha overcome the trauma of her past, save her mate, and claim the male who sings to her wolf’s heart?

Hinata

TBD

Tentative cover and synopsis of the sixth book in the series.

With half the security divisions of Warrior’s Weald investigating leads in the Aerincael Wastes, Hinata is sent after the missing scientists from the Kaleidoscope. But Aeraiph Niphon was not what she expected. He’s not there to join his mentor but to retrieve something the other man had taken.

Now the wolf and the scientist must work together to find her answers and his treasure. Love wasn’t part of the mission. For either of them.
