Praise for THE SCYTHIAN TRIALS

"... Fun and sensual fantasy [with] magnetic characters." ―Publishers Weekly

"The Scythian Trials crackles with life, hums with heart, and pounds with action for one hell of a read." ―San Francisco Book Review

"If you loved the Hunger Games and Divergent and just all around kicka$$ characters with an amazing storyline then you will love this." ―Books With Jess

Descendants of the Amazons, the Scythians work alongside prominent governments but answer to no one. Warriors living on the fringe of civilization, they live by one credo: Strength through Equality. Power through Knowledge.

Nya Thalestris is the brightest Scythian of her generation. Strong, capable, ruthless, she is sure to earn a spot in the Trials, a time-honored mating ritual responsible for the evolution of her species.

Abducted by their sworn enemy, the Drahzda, Nya is forever altered and spirals out of control. The Society sends in Jax Nickius. Infamous psychologist and one of the most brutal warriors of their kind, he discovers triggers planted in Nya’s mind. As Nya solidifies her spot in the Trials, Jax develops a plan to help—while pursuing her as a mate. But, Nya’s attraction to Jax is at war with her instinct to never let anyone get too close.

During the Trials, Nya’s repressed memories surface, revealing a new enemy—one from inside the consulate walls—and a traitorous alliance on the horizon that could irrevocably change the course of history.

Since before the Bronze Age, the Society has managed to safeguard humanity from itself … until now.

THE SCYTHIAN TRIALS EXCERPT

He frowned as he glanced at her leg. “You’re still bleeding.”

She looked at the soaked scarf. “I’ll live.”

“Do you have a long-sleeved shirt under that jacket?”

Confused, Nya nodded. “Yes.”

Jax’s jaw clenched as he looked at the top box. “Good. Rip off your sleeve and tie it again.”

Nya froze. Jax wasn’t allowed to help her, and they both knew it.

“I’ll be fine.”

“Vtachi,” he rumbled.

“For the love of God, stop calling me a fucking bird!”

The horn blared overhead.

Jax crossed his arms, settling his weight on the back of his heels, his expression aloof.

“Your mother has requested you not stay for the Claiming Season, should you lose the championship, that is. She already has a rovni in mind that she feels would be better than any candidate the champions could choose. I know him from my days in the academy. He’s not exactly a conversationalist, but—”

“Oh, shut up.” Nya ripped off her jacket. She tore off her shirtsleeve and put the jacket back on. Grumbling a stream of obscenities that would make a sailor blush, she tied the extra material around her thigh.

“Tighter,” Jax ordered.

She grumbled some more, straining to pull the material as tight as it would go. Her leg screamed in pain.

“There. Happy?”

“Not quite.” Jax stepped forward, his eyes never leaving hers. He put his hand on her hip, his fingers resting on the rise of her backside. His thumb grazed her hipbones as his palms moved down. His knuckles swept across her lower abdomen, trailing downward until his fingers grazed her sex, finally resting on her inner thigh.

Nya gasped as he pressed the soft flesh there, quickly finding the hidden knife. Tucking his thumb and forefinger beneath the hidden pocket, he unsheathed the blade.

Leaning in, he whispered as his lips grazed her ear, “Sorry, Vtachi. No weapons allowed this round.”
