In 1764, a small town in the British colony of Massachusetts ignited a bold rebellion. When Great Britain levied the Sugar Act on its American colonies, Parliament was not prepared for Boston's backlash. For the next decade, Loyalists and rebels harried one another as both sides revolted and betrayed, punished and murdered. But the rebel leaders were not quite the heroes we consider them today. Samuel Adams and John Hancock were reluctant allies. Paul Revere couldn't recognize a traitor in his own inner circle. And George Washington dismissed the efforts of the Massachusetts rebels as unimportant. With a helpful guide to the very sites where the events unfolded, historian Brooke Barbier seeks the truth behind the myths. Barbier tells the story of how a city radicalized itself against the world's most powerful empire and helped found the United States of America.

He’s a wendigo. A hated feared race and one of the Lanista’s favorites. She’s a oni-werewolf mix sold by her own father into the game. To survive the deadly gladiator games Xander and Kauri need to decide if true love is really worth the lives. What happens if they are forced to fight each other or Can Kauri and Xander find true love together or will death be the only peace they get. This is the third story in the Wolfoni Clan series and promises to introduce the remaining clan members and give an update on those we already know.

Genetically altered clan mates Imogen and Logan should have had an easy happily ever after. But when they found each other as their clan formed Logan seemed to silently reject her as his promised mate. That was until Imogen was captured by the Nogitsune Elizabeth and he realized his one chance at happiness was going to be over before it started. Logan knew if Imogen died it would be his fault. He should have claimed her the moment he set eyes on her. He should have forced his Wolfoni clan members to accept her. He should have never allowed their words to influence his choice. He failed her and she would pay the price.

It couldn’t work. Too many things would keep them from ever finding happiness together. The truth of their situation slammed into Dylan knocking the air from his lungs. She was his promised mate but also his enemy. The one he was sent to kill by his master. A command he couldn’t break without severe consequences. Still, the words continued to echo over and over in his mind. Poisonous blood, enemy, banshee, evil…commanded… MY PROMISED MATE!

Sebastian is a genetically altered Oni warrior and werewolf mix. He grew up praying that one day he would meet his promised mate and earn his chance for a happily ever after. So it was no surprise that he wanted her the moment he set eyes on her but Elise was completely uninterested. She refused to give him even a second thought. Instead she spends her day being a spoiled brat. Sullen, demanding and generally pissed off at the world. The truth however is very different. Elise was born the only female triplet and should have been a werewolf Oni mix like her brothers. But, in a twist of fate, she was born without an Oni abilities. Raised by the pack Alpha and treated like a princess in public, most people thought her life has been nothing but parties and bon bons. They couldn’t be farther from the truth. So what Sebastian takes as spoiled is really just a defense mechanism she keeps firmly in place to hide the terrible and brutal truth from the rest of the world.
