#1
Sword for Hire
2019
Riley Harper wants to kill the king. Yet his godlike power makes him nigh untouchable. When their money runs out, Riley and her protector, Ocken, have more basic problems—like where to find their next meal. But if Riley has to don another barmaid's uniform, she's liable to snap. Fortunately for them, a mysterious hooded stranger who goes by the name of Viper might have just the job they're looking for. The stakes are high and lives are on the line in this high octane, stand-alone Soul Stones adventure series.
#2
Accidental Assassin
2019
A light shines in the darkness.
The earnings from their last heist have dried up. Now, Ocken and Riley are once again in need of a job. Ocken doesn't dare work for the mysterious Viper again, but Riley wants to use the stranger to take down the crime lord, Edward Ziken. Except Viper is nowhere to be found. But Viper isn't the only one looking for hired hands. Soon, Ocken and Riley find themselves as pawns in yet another plot for power. The job seems simple enough, but there's more at stake than they could possibly know.
#3
Death Marked
2019
Hope burns brightest in the night.
Death follows Riley Harper like an unwelcome visitor. Yet this time, her goal is to save a life from his cold embrace rather than ushering it into the great beyond. The king's assassins have marked the governor of Havan for death, but the elusive Viper sends Ocken and Riley to kidnap her for his own machinations. As the events unfold, the pair soon discover that they aren't the only ones after the governor and what should have been a simple job turns into a convoluted scheme with far reaching ramifications. Can they save the governor's life before it's too late or will Death claim his prize after all?
#4
Captain's Folly
2019
Everybody makes mistakes.
But rarely do those mistakes result in somebody's death. Riley Harper is trying to forgive and forget. Yet it's not as easy as it sounds when the person she's trying to forgive is herself. Ocken understands that no one can control absolutely everything that happens in life, but perhaps taking action that will help people is exactly the kind of remedy she needs. There is no employer this time, no pay in it for them, but with a list of Ziken's operatives in hand, they set out to topple his crime empire. And the unfortunate target? The captain of a ship called the
Sea Dragon
. His crime? He threw in his lot with Ziken, and that was only his first folly. Join Ocken and Riley on yet another blood-pumping adventure. You won't regret it.
#5
Unlikely Allies
2019
We don't always get to choose our friends.
Left battered and wounded, but still very much alive, Ocken and Riley race to save more than twenty young girls from a life of servitude at the hand of crime lord Edward Ziken. The difficulty of the task ahead leads them to once again ally themselves with the nefarious Viper. Their plans are going well until a familiar third party inserts himself into the mix landing Ocken and Riley in hot water. Will they be able to get themselves out of this risky situation? Or will they be handing in their swords for a pair of shackles instead?
#6
High Treason
2019
Everyone has a fear of something
For most of his life, Ocken would have claimed he was fearless. He'd rushed head first into a suicide mission, gone up against tyrant kings, and faced off against otherworldly creatures and lived to tell about it. But the world around him has exploded, quite literally, and all he can think about is Riley. Their ship is aflame and she's nowhere to be seen. Can Ocken find her and save her in time? Even more death-defying events await him in the next installment of Sellswords. Will he be able to conquer his fears long enough to survive himself?
#7
Retribution
2019
What if you had to choose between life and death?
Riley awakes to find herself in Shadowhold's palace presented with a unique opportunity to exact her revenge on the man who took everything from her. But things don't go according to plan and now Riley must choose between saving the life of an innocent girl or taking it from the man who deserves death most. Meanwhile, Ocken is still trying to figure out who's behind the attack on the castle. Just when they think they've got it figured out, another mysterious party appears that may be behind it all. Join Ocken and Riley on another thrilling adventure to cleanse the world of evil one bad guy at a time.
