Where to find Pietas

Immortal Empires - Thieves' Guild Academy series by Kayelle Allen #SciFi #MMRomance

A Stolen Heart: When your king is immortal—and your ex—how do you guard your heart?

A Stolen Heart

When he rescues a half-human orphan, a glorified space pirate turned entrepreneur sets in motion a chain of events that threatens to topple the powerful Thieves' Guild he once led.

Multiple layers of conspiracy unfold, reaching all the way to Luc's immortal ex--the king. Behind each solved mystery looms an unseen foe, undoing the good Luc accomplishes. For the sake of this child, Luc must postpone his own freedom and master his desire for revenge or he will violate an ancient vow. Worse, he'll put the toddler at risk.

At war with his compassion for the vulnerable child, loyalty to the king, duty to the Guild, and the bright lure of freedom he's coveted for centuries, Luc seeks the right path. Will he choose liberty and unparalleled success, or restore the Thieves' Guild to its former glory while overseeing the child's training?

A hard choice for any man. For an immortal whose inner monster can destroy on sight? Impossible.

A pirate with a monstrous past can never be trusted with an innocent child. He must ensure the child is protected, safe, nowhere near danger. Nowhere near him. Even if this little boy has already stolen his heart...

A Broken Heart - Thieves' Guild Academy #SciFi #SpaceOpera #Academy

A Broken Heart

The Thieves' Guild tech Senth is about to claim will make him invisible.

Finally, the young halfbreed thief will be out of sight, shielded from the taunts humans fire at him. But when that tech reveals he has a human half-brother who's bound by a cruel slaver, Senth must find a way to save his brother from abuse and win him his freedom -- even though Senth is a slave himself. After all, this is what he's always wanted. A family.

There's just one problem.

That brother holds him responsible for every bad thing that ever happened, and he can't wait to make Senth pay.

Senth might be invisible, but he can't hide from the truth...

As a disaster of epic proportions unfurls, Kam must take action.

But when the child's breach uncovers a deeper, more insidious hack, the two master thieves must work together. Is there truly honor among thieves? These two have a second chance to prove it, save the child, the Academy, and restore their newfound love.

Surrender Love

More than love. Surrender.

Luc is the most powerful man in the Empire, and he's immortal. When his mortal lover walks away, the smart thing is to move on and forget. But how can he bear this loneliness, life after life?

Until he meets Izzorah, an adorable Kin male, a sweet yet fierce youth with perky cat's ears and eyes, an intense curiosity about the world, and the almost superpower ability to smell every subtle change of emotion. This might be the soulmate Luc's hoped for. The one person to whom he can surrender his heart.

But to bring his beloved closer means revealing every damning secret, every twisted truth, and every hidden lie. And once he does, Luc might risk losing him forever...

Forever Love

For their love, forever isn't long enough.

Izzorah is a Kin, a human-like race of fierce, rugged felines. When he learns the truth about his fiancé's immortality--and his own--the familiar world he knew vanishes.

He must pass a test designed by the immortal king to reveal gifts and weaknesses.

Pass and he's accepted into a warrior society he wants no part of. Fail and he's cast out, away from the man he loves.

As if that's not bad enough, his lover is also the king's ex, and the king refuses to part with anything--or anyone--he loves.

Fair test? Not in this immortal lifetime...

Complete Set Antonello Brothers: Immortal

Alone for centuries, Luc seeks mortal lovers to hold the loneliness at bay, but unlike himself, when they die, they don't come back. When his latest mortal lover falls in love with another, Luc steps aside. Will he never find his own forever love?

Izzorah, a young Kin male, comes into Luc's life, and the outlook brightens. This catlike alien reads Luc's emotions as if they were written on his face. Instead of fleeing from Luc's pain, Izzorah presses closer, offering solace.

When a life-threatening accident nearly kills Izzorah, the thought of losing him is too much to bear. Luc breaks the highest law among immortals and saves him by a transfusion of blood.

But instead of a simple cure, Luc's blood triggers a latent power, and an ability no one expected. Immortality. Could his precious Izzorah be Luc's forever love?

One thing is certain. Once Luc sets his mind to a thing, what Luc wants, Luc gets. But to claim Izzorah's full surrender, Luc must first offer his own...

Lights Out

He can save humanity. All he has to do is die. Again.

Join the Ghost Corps. You'll live forever, they said. You'll save humanity, they said. They didn't say that to do it, first you had to die.

When Tornahdo signs on the dotted line, he puts his life into the steady hands of the mighty Ghost Corps. Three grisly deaths and three agonizing resurrections later, he's assigned duty on the space station Enderium Six.

He's facing his most dangerous mission yet, subduing and arresting the most lethal enemy of mankind—the immortal king.

Does the Corps expect success? Fat chance. Tornahdo and his team are already dead and this mission is codenamed "Lights Out." No, there's more to this than he can see.

To discover the truth, he must face an unbeatable, unkillable enemy, and this time—against all expectations for a ghost—find a way to keep himself alive...

What if the enemy you hate is your only salvation?

Marooned on a planet with no one but Six, a human who guarded him in exile, the immortal king Pietas must face the ordeal of survival.

Forged in Fire - Bringer of Chaos by Kayelle Allen #SciFi #SpaceOpera

Forged in Fire

No food. No shelter. No weapons. Enemies aplenty. And the only one watching his back is his captor.

When traitors maroon the immortal king Pietas on an alien planet, there's no escape. Half a million of his followers were transported as well, asleep in their cryopods.

Pietas could create a new world, rule his people, and start completely over. Except there's no technology, no infrastructure, and every pod is set to open at the same time. Stacked atop one another in inoperable units, the pods will trap his fellow immortals in a gruesome cycle of repeated deaths, lodged within the very pods that should have offered sanctuary.

Unless Pietas can free them before that happens.

At his side is an irascible mortal who'd once been his jailer, and a fascinating woman who's the designer of their people's finest weapons—and telepathic. Just his luck, Pietas has been adopted by an entire tribe of know-it-all sentient panthers. But first, he must deal with the most dysfunctional family in the history of forever...

Human Perfect: Misbehaving Robots series by Kayelle Allen #SciFi #Cyberpunk

Human Perfect - spies in the android industry meet

Human Perfect: Misbehaving Robots series by Kayelle Allen #SciFi #Cyberpunk

In the android business, the best of the best are Human Perfect.
A Terran Crescent story set in the same time and universe as the Tarthian Empire books -- but on the Earth side of the galaxy.

Human Perfect

Christa despises androids. The texture of plastiflesh skin jars her senses. The non-smell of animate machines makes her skin crawl.

Don't even get her started on robots, or worse -- andys that look human. Her job as a corporate spy for the android maker Innersoul puts her in touch with the creatures every day, but also requires her to judge them.

When she runs into Humancopy Progress Rep Tom Karellys, she can't believe her luck. Using a cover identity, Christa wines and dines him. What truths will she uncover?

Or worse, what truths will she reveal...

Includes a bonus sci fi short story "Invisible Ink" set in the same universe.

In this scene from Human Perfect, the heroine is dining with Tom, who works for an android company.

Excerpt

Christa picked up her napkin. "You were about to tell me whether this was your first trip to Earth."

"I'm here often. Last year, my company sent me to seventeen conventions in Terra City alone. I research trips and assign ratings."

"Maybe Humancopy could relieve you of some of that waiting you dislike so much. Our andys are perfect for research."

Smoothing the napkin onto her lap, she scoffed. "Thank you, but andys are incapable of the level of judgment a company like mine requires. Our clients have discerning tastes."

"Judgment is a matter of making choices based on requirements and a bank of options. Our andys do that well. In tests, 94.82% of the participants couldn't tell Humancopy from human." He leaned back as the waitress brought their food. When she left, he bowed his head in what Christa assumed to be prayer.

"Tom, may I ask you a question?" She played with the stem of her glass, avoiding his direct gaze.

He sat back and folded his hands. "By all means."

"Can andys pray?"

"Maybe the question is better asked, 'should they?' A monastery on New Terra ordered two andys from us to research texts. We made them appear to be monks."

Christa adjusted the napkin on her lap. "But they can't pray, can they?"

"They fold their hands, bow their heads, and chant along with the other monks. The leadership there wanted them to look like everyone else."

"But to pray? That's sacrilege, isn't it?"

"We don't know if they're praying." Tom slipped one finger around the rim of his glass. "They're moving their mouths and saying the words. Does that constitute prayer? Ask the person next to you in church." He dug his fork into his food and paused. "I can't say. I'm not the one they're praying to."

"But andys don't have souls."

"Can't be proven." He lifted his fork but paused before taking a bite. "Unless you're one."

Tropes include: Cyberpunk, Androids, Robots, Spies

Trailing Kaiwulf: Colonies of Man by Kayelle Allen #SciFi #DarkFantasy #Archaeology

Trailing Kaiwulf by Kayelle Allen

Trailing Kaiwulf: Colonies of Man by Kayelle Allen #SciFi #DarkFantasy #Archaeology

Trailing Kaiwulf

A pair of bounty hunters (a big guy who's the brains, and a tiny woman who's the brawn) set out to find a missing person last spotted by an archaeologist on an alien world. The problem?

The missing person is in another dimension. Oh yeah -- and he's invisible.

They literally didn't see that coming.

When Jee and Dane take on this top priority mission, the pay is better than they've earned before as agents for the Trace, Rescue, and Identification League. After this, they might not need jobs. They're the best there is, and the person, item, or secret hasn't been invented that these two can't recover. Until now.

After all, how do you find an invisible man in another dimension? The archaeologist in charge can't afford this fee, and the military would just take over.

So the real question is: who -- or what -- is behind the request to trail Kaiwulf?


Tropes include: Older Woman Younger Man, Bounty Hunters, Invisibility, Ancient Ruins

In this scene, our two bounty hunters have discovered more about their mission, and are now retiring to their room for the night.

Excerpt

"How are we supposed to go to another dimension?" Jee tossed her knapsack on the floor and dropped onto her cot. Crossing her ankles, she folded her hands across her waist. Above her, the ceiling fan trailed dust webs as it turned. She swatted at a buzzing insect and reached back to pull the pillow under her head. "I can't figure this one."

Across the room, behind a hanging sheet, Dane yelped. Slap! "Watch out for those buzzing things. They bite."

She slapped at one. After a moment, she turned over. "You got any ideas?"

"About how to track an invisible man in another dimension?"

"That's the general problem, yeah."

"Nada, Jee. I could resign. Work for a living."

"What, you mean get a real job?"

Dane slapped at a bug. "Beats this."

"Be serious."

"I am serious. At least your feet stay under the covers. I hang over the end of every bed I sleep in except my own. I'm tired of it."

Dane had propped his feet on a chair at the end of the cot. They showed past the end of the sheet hanging between them. Dr. Post had apologized for not realizing TRAIL was sending agents of the opposite sex. No other quarters existed, but they'd slept in one another's company for years, with no problem. On a hunt, you snoozed where and when you could. Jee felt safer with Dane than without him.

"It's like this." She tucked an arm under her head. "With the kind of money we'll get from this job, you can buy dozens of portable custom-made beds. We could cash out. Put that money in savings and live off the interest. You could pay off your house. Stay home and play with the kids."

"Good as that sounds, I can't imagine retiring, Jee."

"I know. But we have to think of some way to find this guy. Come on. You're the brains of this duo."

Dane snorted. "Right. You think it's so easy, you come up with something. And since when am I the 'brains' anyway? You're smart."

"You only tell me I'm smart when you're stuck for an idea."

"I asked you for an idea back on... on... uh..." Dane's voice dropped. "I think it was... uh..."

Jee snickered. "Like I said."

For Her Only by Kayelle Allen #SciFi #Romance

No woman would ever love him. His own mother taught him that.

Her fine human didn't trust her yet. But she would prove herself worthy.

For Her Only by Kayelle Allen #SciFi #Romance

For Her Only by Kayelle Allen #SciFi #Romance

For Her Only

Kin ambassador Fawni Ruh visits the capitol planet of the empire and meets security expert, Khyff, a human. A death in her family forces Fawni to return home, but she can't bear to part with Khyff and takes him along. Her family demands she cast out the human, or abdicate her future rule.

When Fawni searches for an alternative, she stumbles upon Khyff's secret. The cover-up, if exposed, will betray her world to its enemies, and bare her family to open shame. Her duty is clear. She must shun this human. Yet how can she leave Khyff to suffer in the darkness that binds his heart?

To save his brother, Khyff must seduce and then betray an alien ambassador whose people devastated his family.

Hatred for the aliens burns within him, but unless Khyff learns to embrace the past, faces the demons he swore he'd forget, and finds a way to forgive, his brother will die.

But how can he hope for a happy ever after, when his hidden truth is her people's hidden lie...

Tropes include: Forced Proximity, Feminist Sci-Fi, Rescue, Redemption, Found Family, Wounded Hero, Alien Heroine

After a brief misunderstanding, Mehfawni tries to get Khyff to relax, and suggests a bath.

Excerpt

Khyff slid down in the oversize tub and leaned back into Mehfawni's arms the way she'd requested. He eased himself into her embrace, his head against her shoulder.

She wrapped her arms around him and kissed his cheek. "Isn't that better?"

"Mmm." It was nice having her hands slide across his wet skin. So far, she'd never touched him with her claws extended. So far.

"Close your eyes."

"Why?"

"Easy, Khyff." She stroked her hands down his arms. "Relax. Lie back. You don't have to be afraid. I promise, nothing will happen to you that you don't like."

A bit late for that. Mehfawni skimmed her fingers across his brow and pulled back his hair. That felt good. He settled more into place.

"You like that?"

"Mmm."

She toyed with his hair, drawing it back from his face. He rubbed his nose.

"You have such cute little ears." She traced the outside edge of one. "I grew up learning to read people's ears, but humans are a total mystery to me. Your ears don't move at all."

"The better to hear you with, my dear."

Fawni stopped stroking him. "Ah fay?"

He turned his head toward her voice. "It's a line from an old fairy tale."

"What are fairy tales?"

"Children's stories. Make-believe stories that teach a lesson."

"Kin have these. We call them drahee. The word drah means story. When you add ee to a word, it means little." He felt the vibration of her voice. "Tell me one of your stories. The one about ears."

Khyff stretched into the hot water, resting his arms along Mehfawni's legs. Her furskin made her smoother than a human female. His slid his palms across her shins and down around her calves.

"This young girl goes to visit her grandmother, who's sick."

Mehfawni's breath warmed his ear. "What's wrong with her?"

"Who?"

"The grandmother."

"I don't know, Fawni. It's part of the story."

"Oh." She nuzzled his ear. "Go on."

"Anyway, the girl has a large basket with books in it and--"

"Books? You mean printed ones like Kin use? Not the pretend kind you humans read on your debit bracelets."

"Uh...I guess so."

"Why is she carrying around heavy books? Aren't the books on debit bracelets easier to read? I think I'd prefer those myself."

Khyff leaned away from her so she could see his face. "You're supposed to listen to the story, Fawni. It doesn't matter what format the books are in. It's just something for her to carry for the sake of the story. It could have been food or some other thing."

"Oh." Her ears went out. "Sorry."

"She's taking the books to her grandmother, I guess so she'll have stories to read while she's in bed recovering. On the way, she meets an android who offers to carry the heavy basket, but the girl says she doesn't need help. This makes the android angry, so he--"

"I thought androids had controls to prevent anger."

He trailed his fingers along her thighs. "They do, but this android must've been broken or something. Anyway, he takes a shortcut to the grandmother's house, lifts the sick old woman out of her bed, and puts her in a closet."

"In a closet? Why doesn't she get back out?"

"She was sick, remember?"

"Yes, but she could have opened the door and crawled. How sick was she?"

Khyff took a deep breath. "May I continue?"

"Go on. Sorry."

"The android changes form and makes himself look like the grandmother."

"This is a very odd story, Khyffy. When does the ear part happen?"

"I'm getting to that. The girl sees right away that her grandmother looks different and asks why her eyes are so bright. The android realizes he forgot to change his eyes and says, 'The better to see you with, my dear.' And then the girl says, 'Grandmother, your ears are too big.' And the android thinks maybe he's not good at changing form and says, 'The better to hear you with, my dear.'"

"Most peculiar. What does she do next? Does she ever find out it's the android?"

"Patience, Fawni." He rested his hands on her shins. "By this time the girl is suspicious and says, 'Grandmother, why are your fingers so long?' and the android says, 'The better to grab you with, my dear,' and then he grabs her!"

Khyff seized her ankles, and Mehfawni jumped and squealed, then burst out laughing. They both chuckled.

She tugged a lock of his hair. "And what happened to the girl?"

"The android's owner burst in through the door at that moment. He aimed a remote at the android and powered him down. Then he got the grandmother out of--"

She made tsking sounds. "I do not like this story, Khyffy."

"What?" He leaned his head back against her. "Why not?"

"It would never be told on Felidae."

He sat up and twisted around to face her in the tub. "Why not?"

"A male rescuing a female?" Her laughter sounded like a cat hissing. "Not believable."

"What's so unbelievable about that? Humans have told that story for hundreds of years. Maybe even thousands."

"Humans, yes." She covered her mouth and laughed some more.

"How would the Kin tell this story?"

"It would be a boy taking the sick grandfather food to eat, not books to read. And instead of a mean android, we would have a kweeoh eat the grandfather and then dress in his clothes and await the boy."

He twisted his mouth. "Oh, like that would ever happen. Kweeohs are twice my size. The boy would have to be blind not to see it wasn't his grandfather. And that would be way too violent for kids. We have the android scare the girl."

"Kin females would not be scared of an android."

"You jumped, didn't you?"
