LEGENDS OF THE DARK STAR
BLOOD MOON
IN THE GRIM DARKNESS OF SPACE, FEAR SPREADS
LIKE A VIRUS.
When the silver mines of M-1819 suffer a catastrophic breach, Roger Hawthorn is the Compliance Officer sent to lift the orbital station’s subsequent lockdown. The company’s reclusive founder, Petar Novikov, insists that everything is under control – that by signing a few harmless documents, Roger can be on a shuttle headed back to his pregnant wife as early as tomorrow.
But an alien pathogen continues to spill from the damaged dig site. And it doesn’t just make its victims sick – it transforms them into sinister shadow-selves plagued with an insatiable hunger. Nobody’s leaving the Desmodontae while the facility’s quarantine is in effect.
Desperate to return home before his daughter is born, Roger allies with research scientist Dr. Vanessa Tsing in a race to contain the virus. But the longer he stays trapped on the isolated Desmodontae, the more erratic and unsettling Novikov’s behaviour becomes – and that’s before crew members show up dead with their bodies drained of blood.
A predator older than the stars is on the hunt.
But to escape might put the whole galaxy at risk...
Sink your teeth into BLOOD MOON – a standalone novel inspired by Dracula and the wider vampire mythos that’ll have you turning the pages long into the night.
A GIRL MADE OF GEARS
TALIA DOESN'T NEED GUTS. SHE'S MADE OF TOUGHER STUFF.
Copper, to be precise. Because this girl wasn’t born, but built – assembled from scrap and salvage to dazzle audiences in Doctor Tesibius’ Court of Curiosities.
What Talia wasn’t designed to do, however, was think for herself. She’s supposed to be a mindless automaton who does what she’s told, not a girl who dreams of sailing to the stars. Only Hero, a meek carnival worker in a moth-eaten sackcloth tunic, sees through her metal chassis to the soul within.
Fleeing her creator, Talia drags Hero across a war torn landscape in search of a world where nobody has to work – or jump through flaming hoops, at the very least. But old hunters stalk the blackened fields, Tesibius is on their tail, and greedy industrialists would like nothing more than to rip her apart and find what makes her tick.
Talia’s very existence changes everything. But a girl made of gears is hot property, freedom comes at a price, and the clock(work) is counting down...
Unwind with A GIRL MADE OF GEARS – a standalone novel inspired by Pinocchio set in a grim steampunk world that masterfully combines the wonder of Science Fiction with the macabre tone of Dark Fantasy.
