Resistance
2019
A sinister attack. A dangerous city. An abandoned child. The old cities are flooded, crops have failed, and resource wars have wrecked most things from refineries to satellites. It was the day Jac discovered how precarious her life had become. Her love of nature and loyalty to her remote forest community can no longer weave the illusion of safety she has believed in for so long. Driving damaged roads to a city she hasn’t seen for six years, Jac finds unexpected allies as well as disturbing truths about the ruthless Avarit imperium controlling their lives. And then… she has never met anyone like Raine, the mysterious and charismatic leader of the outlawed forest rangers. She offers her medic skills to the Resistance, caught between Avarit military and the terrorist F2 gangs inflicting havoc on the city and Outlander communities. But would you risk everything for freedom? Resistance is the first book in the Phoenix Enigma series, the dystopian romance epic from Jay Aspen.

The battle tears apart her fiery love affair with Raine. Now she has to discover if her extraordinary abilities can win her a meaningful place among the rangers, without sacrificing her values as a medic – or losing hope of being reunited with Raine.

Even with Jac’s perceptive skills and the courage and determination of Raine and his forest rangers, their chances don’t look good. But if there is unexpected help from the heart of the enemy?

Defiance

Hannik's dreams have been devastatingly put on hold. All she ever wanted was to survive the hard training and be accepted into the elite Order of Webdancers, the guardians of Primae IV who risk their lives patrolling the remote wilderness. That exciting career isn’t going to happen for Hannik. Not unless she can escape a sinister plot to start a civil war. Meeting the mysterious, wealthy, and charismatic Vander was the start of it… She did get one lucky break. Getting shot. And then being rescued by the gorgeous Severin and his contacts in the secret service. Maybe this is the chance she needs. Maybe now she can use her already impressive skills in navigation, summoning and combat to foil the plot and prove her innocence. As well as rescuing her sister and her precious wildcat kittens. And then… she discovers she is about to join the shark-team and ride into a deadly battle. Hm. Sharksinger is the prequel to Stormweaver, the science-fantasy adventure romance epic from Jay Aspen. Perfect for fans of Avatar, Dune, and the Broken Earth series!
