War Bear of Piston

2023

Something terrible has happened to Foster. Ghosts from his Alpha’s past have used him as an unwitting pawn in their game of revenge. He is a werewolf who was forced to dig up something evil that has changed the makeup of who he is. His wolf has been replaced with a titan bear who has little memory of his past, and now Foster and his new shifter animal, Biergon, must go on an adventure to try and figure out where they belong. He can’t go back to Stryker’s Pack, but never in a million years would Foster have guessed he would end up in the wilds of Alaska, right in the middle of a war for power. And the craziest part about it? His new inner bear is the former King, and he has a mate waiting for his return. The bear Clans of Alaska exist in a completely different world than the one he recognizes, and all the rules are different…including the rules regarding mates. The bears in these Clans need to be taught some manners, and as Foster gets to know the fierce and beguiling queen he has been paired with, he begins to think he is exactly the shifter to do it. A few months ago, Jaydah lost her mate, Biergon. In just a few short days, her mourning period will be finished and she will be promised to another. But when she sees the stranger with Biergon’s eyes on the banks of her river, she knows something horrible has happened. There are legends of shifters switching animals, but she’s never seen one before, and now? Biergon is different. He is kinder, and more protective. His new human side is making her feel like love matches do exist—but if she helps Biergon take his throne back, she will be punished for treason against the bears in her Clan who are fighting to be the new king. Until now, she has had no say in her destiny, but for the first time ever, someone…Foster…is listening to her. And if he can find it in his heart to grant her enough power, together they can change everything for her people. The Stark’s Mountains universe continues with a brand-new series that pivots directly from T.S. Joyce’s monster-hit Wolves of Piston series of bestsellers to a new, rip-roaring, Alaskan bear shifter adventure in the Bears of Slaughter Mountain series. This can be read as a standalone series, but will sometimes throw a nod to old friends from other books within this growing universe. Let this series take your imagination on the adventure of a lifetime. Full of love and war in the way T. S. Joyce fans have grown to expect, The Bears of Slaughter Mountain will not disappoint. Content Warning: Explicit love scenes, naughty language, and piles of shifter secrets. This series is mid-war and mid-establishing territory lines. If you aren’t up for wolf fights, this won’t be your jam, but if you’re up for action-adventure love stories with a side of werewolf growly-growly-fight-fights, this one’s for you.

Defender of Slaughter Mountain

2023

Kian McHurne has unpaired himself from his mate. He had to do it for reasons he never wants to admit out loud. He put her in the care of the new King of the Bear Clan of Alaska, in hopes that she could have a better life, and survive the war that is coming for her. Their pairing was arranged, and they never quite took to each other. It’s better to cut losses and move on if they’re to be in two separate Clans now. Too bad Fate has other plans. When he’s cast into the new Clan to fight for his life, he sees the mate he left behind in a new light. She isn’t anchored down anymore, and the new-found freedom has done her good. Her inner grizzly is fierce and she will make Kian pay every chance she gets, but for him? He will secretly cheer her on. She should be fierce. She should learn to fight. She should learn to never back down, because he knows a secret the new Clan doesn’t know—and it could be the end to them all. Grizzly shifter, Eryn Laraway, has been shamed. When a pairing fails in the Bear Clan, it’s an unspeakable thing to happen, and her mate has chosen to do just that. Caught between the urge to curl up in a ball forever, or fight like a wild animal until she feels steady again, Eryn must figure out what to do with her life now. When Kian shows up with big warnings for her new Clan, she begins to appreciate the man he could’ve been…if he wasn’t a big, dominant, brute of a grizzly shifter. He’s just like the others of the Old Clan…right? Their pairing was always distant, but now he insists on teaching her things that are strictly forbidden by the Old Ways. The more she gets to know her growing self, the farther away her old life seems to be, and for the life of her, she can’t decide if Kian will ruin what she’s building, or protect it. A storm is brewing over Slaughter Mountain, and new boundary lines will be drawn in a war that will rattle the Clans from the inside out. Don’t miss this thrilling installment in T.S. Joyce’s bestselling Bears of Slaughter Mountain series. Change is coming, whether the Clans like it or not. Content Warning: love scenes, naughty language, and piles of shifter secrets. This series is establishing territory lines between two bear shifter Clans, and is an spicy-love-story-action-packed adventure from start to finish. If you aren’t up for grizzly fights, this won’t be your jam, but if you’re up for romance with a side of war-between-good-and-evil, this one’s for you!

Legend of Slaughter Mountain

2023

The Legend of Slaughter Mountain has been terrorizing the bear shifters of Alaska relentlessly for the past fifteen years. The past year has split the bear shifters into two Clans—the New, and the Old. The Old clings to a barbaric way of life where females are less than, but the New? Biergon the Dead is leading them toward a new reality—one where the females run this new world. Biergon has given them power, and freedom, and support. Slaughter has lost much to the Old Clan. He has been keeping them in line since, but now there is a female who is trying to kill him. He should be furious, but Tayah the Vicious has his attention. She has her own reasons for hunting Slaughter, and now he is forced to deal with the past and all the things that made him the Destroyer that he is. If anyone can bring him into the light, it’s Tayah…but she will have to pay a huge price to do so. Tayah the Vicious is in a Clan that makes no sense. The females here pair up because they want to, but Tayah knows that is just weakness. She will never settle down, will never trust a male to be a partner with her. Females run the world now, and Tayah will spend every last breath pushing her friends into the light. But…there is one last link to the old ways of life, and his name is Slaughter. He has done unspeakable things, and he must be stopped. He is creating a war no one can contain, and it’s up to Tayah to put an end to the Legend of Slaughter Mountain. The only problem? He’s much too interesting for his own good. The more she learns of the reasons for his vengeance, the more it makes sense that he would want to bring war to the Clans. Perhaps Slaughter’s war is exactly what they all need. Perhaps he can fix the wrong that’s been done to Tayah. And maybe, just maybe…Slaughter can teach her how to live. Healing doesn’t come easy to these shifters, especially not to a bear shifter who has been consumed by evil. In this final installment of T. S. Joyce’s bestselling Bears of Slaughter Mountain series, all will be exposed. For Slaughter Mountain, and the ‘evil’ that has protected it for all these years, is not what it seems. Don’t miss this exciting full-length finale of the Bears of Slaughter Mountain. Content love scenes, naughty language, and piles of shifter secrets. This series is establishing territory lines between two bear shifter Clans, and is an spicy-love-story-action-packed adventure from start to finish. If you aren't up for grizzly fights, this won't be your jam, but if you're up for romance with a side of war-between-good-and-evil, this one's for you!
