Queens of Tristaine

Tristaine: Book Four

Queens of Tristaine

Tristaine’s hard-won peace is shattered when a deadly plague threatens to devastate the Amazon clan.  Their only hope for a cure lies in the sinister laboratories of the City Clinic.  To save the sisters they love, Jess and Brenna must leave their mountain village and return to the place of their nightmares—the malevolent facility that almost cost them their lives.  The danger they face is harrowing, the stakes enormous…and they have precious little time.

 

The Clinic, 2ed.

Tristaine: Book One

 

The Clinic

 

Aided by a haunted young City medic, the descendents of an ancient warrior tribe fight for their freedom.

Brenna's new duties as a Clinic medic include monitoring the health of political prisoners after they've been "interrogated."  The extreme measures employed by Caster, the Clinic's director, are not supposed to distress Brenna—any such humanistic concerns have long been dismissed by the tyrannical City Government. But Brenna finds herself deeply conflicted by her first patient, Jesstin, a wild and rebellious warrior reputed to be descended from ancient Amazons. Through Jess, she learns of another way of life in the Amazon village of Tristaine, where freedom and passion are prized more highly than political power.

As Caster's methods grow increasingly brutal, Brenna fears for Jess's life, and struggles with the deepening bond between them.  Soon she faces a critical choice, and a harrowing fight for survival.


 

Battle for Tristaine, 2ed.

Tristaine: Book Two

 

Battle for Tristaine

 

After a harrowing escape from the City's prison, new lovers Brenna and the Amazon Jesstin are thrown into a battle that will determine the fate of their entire world. 

While Brenna struggles to find her place in the clan and the love between her and Jess grows, Tristaine is threatened with destruction when a crucial betrayal brings the City soldiers down upon the village. 

Brenna's emerging psychic gifts aid Jess and her warriors in a final bloody confrontation against the forces bent on destroying the Amazon way of life.

 

 

Tristaine Rises

Tristaine: Book Three

 

Tristaine Rises

 

In their new mountain stronghold, a battle rages for the lives and souls of the Amazons of Tristaine. 

While Jess and her warriors fight a ghostly army, their weakened leader, Shann, must find a way to defeat a powerful demon queen. Shann’s only hope is to reveal long-held secrets that will change Brenna and Jess’s life forever. The Thesmephorian moon rises over the last bloody confrontation between two great Amazon tribes—the living and the dead—and when the sun dawns, only one queen rules the village.
