Forgotten Betrayal (Rifter Chronicles Book 4) Jun 11, 2018

by Kalene Williams

$3.99

Legend holds the answers.

Family. That is what Peirce has lost sight of on more than one occasion, and he wants to regain that rock of normality.

Peirce knows why his mind had been infiltrated, Zaich wanted him to remember. But Peirce has been pushed one too many times, and will not stand to be anyone's puppet.

The Divine have a score to settle with their fallen brethren, and Peirce is the key. But mass genocide? Choosing to ignore the past solidifies the inescapable event of going to war with the creators of galaxies.

Zaich needs Peirce strong, and willing to do anything he asks of him, if it means it will stop the insanity. But he hadn't anticipated the Rifter's extreme level of aversion.

All Peirce has to do is walk away, but if he does that, Zaich's threat against his family would be executed.

How can Peirce save his family, and end the demanding silent reign of the fallen Divine?

Krunthi could once again be swept up in the tides of galactic war if Peirce fails to accept the power within him, and use it to eliminate the threat.

But he can't do it alone.

Lingering Shadows (Rifter Chronicles Book 2) May 14, 2018

by Kalene Williams

$3.99

Echoes of the past linger like a stain.

The leaders of Duan'Li, a secret city of Gifted, offer Peirce a pardon for his crimes if he discloses all he knows about Quint's plans concerning his infiltration into the Embassy's ruling body.

There wasn't much Peirce actually knew, and Quint wanted him dead, so what harm could it do? Peirce was anxious to get back to his roots and forget the recent, bloody past.

But moving forward sent him spiraling backward. One second he's enjoying an island breeze, the next he's waking up on a rocky beach with no memory of his kiss of freedom.
He didn't get there on his own. Someone wanted to ensure he remained close to the troupe.

The truth is buried between the gaps in Peirce's memory, and there might be someone who could help. Someone being held deep beneath the Krustallos prison. That is, if he can find a way to question this mysterious Gifted Specter without Quint finding out.
If Quint suspected Peirce might be compromised, he wouldn't hesitate to eliminate him.

Peirce is on the hunt to find out what had been scrubbed from his mind, leading him to discover something far more sinister – Why his memories were taken.

Will Peirce be able to piece together the fragments of his memory?

Or will his determination to unravel the secrets destroy him before he knows the truth?

Mark of the Divine (Rifter Chronicles Book 3) May 14, 2018

by Kalene Williams

$3.99

Gift is power, and the forgotten Oath to the Divine.

Stripping Peirce of his Gift was his mother's last attempt to save him from the ancient war reclaiming the Rifter. But it hadn't worked as well as she had hoped, and her sacrifice may have been in vain.

Every piece of the puzzle has lead Peirce closer to the past, and he would give anything to make it all go away.
He was stalked and scrubbed, and now three millennium worth of memories and power are unfolding within him.

His Gift has begun to change at an alarming rate, and being near the Gifted leaves a hunger on his tongue he almost doesn't want to deny.

Tauv knows a lot more about what's happening to Peirce than he's letting on, and hushed conversations behind closed doors only confirm everything Peirce feared could be true.

Peirce can no longer deny that Tauv is behind his scrubbed memories and the endless runaround. But what does Zaich have to do with it?

And if Zaich is after something specific, Peirce is willing to get it for him in exchange for the truth.

If his own Gift doesn't compel him to be the monster he fears he's already becoming.
