The Republic wants to use me. After showing my prowess during the Test, the Elected has enlisted me into his special force. To serve under him, I must unlock the powers I'd displayed then, but they refuse to come out. The Elected sends me on missions I don't approve of. These missions claw at my conscience and I can't go through with them with my sanity intact. I need a way out. Another group of rebels have appeared, and they need my help to fight the Elected. But I don't trust them either, and I definitely don't trust the two new men on my team. Mortems and Mavericks is the second book in the Lost and Betrayed series. It is a medium burn reverse harem story that contains dark and mature themes, such as strong language, violence, and sexual situations.
