Kinsmen Universe
Silent Blade
Old hatreds die hard. Old love dies harder.
On the planet Rada, Meli Galdesā family is of minor rank, and were relying on her marriage to Celino, the razor-smart, ruthless leader of the powerful Carvanna empire. When he abruptly breaks their engagement, he ruins her family and guarantees that Meli will never marry, as no suitor will oppose the rich and influential Carvannas.
But Meli has a rare, secret, lethal-and valuable-talent. As a melder of energy, sheās capable of severing anything in her path. So she āleavesā her family and trains to become one of the best and most lethal of assassins, all the while covertly guarding her familyās interests. Now sheās ready to quit; but she has one more assignment.
To kill the man who ruined her life.
Silver Shark
Claire Shannon is a killerā¦and her weapon is her mind.
Born on a planet torn by war for over 300 years, Claire is a soldier: a psycher, with the ability to read, control, and destroy the minds of enemy psychers and to infiltrate the biological network where they battle to death.
When Claireās faction loses the war, she barely escapes extermination from both sides, as her talent brands her as too dangerous to society. By so-deeply burying her ability that she avoids detection, Claire is instead deported to Rada as a refugee, where she must find work to remain. She finds a job as personal assistant to Venturo Escana, a premiere kinsman; one of Radaās most wealthy entrepreneursāand most powerful psychers.
She thought she had left war behind, but now she must hide her skills and her growing feelings from Venturoā¦and this battle might just cost her everythingā¦
A Mere Formality
The leader of the fierce Reigh people expires during an intergalactic summit, putting 30 million colonistsā lives and livelihoods in jeopardy. When the new heir to the Reigh throne, Lord Nagrad, demands restitution, the phrase āāa life for a lifeā turns the intergalactic calamity into an arranged marriage contract between Lord Nagrad and sharply intelligent diplomatic analyst Deirdre Lebedā¦ and the negotiation of terms becomes anything but formal!
