Description:

What do an astronaut abducted by aliens and an ancient hunter-of-evil have in common? Both women are destined to die on the Iron Altar.

Darsey Ice knows nothing about her future as a sacrifice. All she wants is to escape from her new owner and find her way home. To Earth. Unfortunately, the galaxy is a big place and slavery isn't a profession she can just walk away from. Running is a must.

Amber Grace has failed before and everyone died because of it. This is her last life and she can't afford to make another mistake. She has to stop the Devourer before he feeds again, but there's only one way to do that. She will be the sacrifice on the monster's iron altar. If Darsey dies instead... everyone dies with her and Amber can't live with that. Not again.

The Iron Altar is waiting for blood.

Darsey Ice never thought her first trip past Jupiter would claim the lives of her crew. But then she hadn’t expected to become the first person to make contact with aliens either.

Kidnapped, enslaved and lost on the Outer Rim of a mighty civilization light-years from Earth, the only person she can turn to is her enigmatic new owner. A dishonored outcast, he is just as alone as Darsey. Exiled by his people and struggling to survive, the last thing he wants is a rebellious primitive as a slave. She complicates his efforts to hide a dangerous secret and to complete a quest that is likely to claim both their lives. They will only survive if they can find enough trust to forge an unwanted alliance.

When the ice takes your friends and then comes for you, what do you do?

Amber Grace has spent countless lives preparing for battle, but her time has finally run out. She’s mortal now and can only hope that her enemy is close. That when the monster comes to devour them all, she’ll still be alive and able to offer herself instead.

All Amber has to do is keep herself safe, but one thing the Universe never guarantees is safety. Forced from hiding and trapped on the Rim with the criminal scum of every interstellar species, Amber finds herself truly living in a way she hasn’t for millennia. Suddenly her choices are more than equations and the potential of billions killed must be balanced against protecting her friends.

Amber finally dares to embrace her last life, but a single mistake costs everything she has won. An ancient evil reaches through the chill of space, to freeze everything it touches.

Now the ice is coming… and it’s not alone.

One Altar. Two Victims. Many Webs.

Amber Grace’s genocidal husband is still obsessed with her.

His constant presents are creepy and she hates his stalking, but it’s his spider collection that really bugs her. Amber can’t turn around without tripping over a web and her thoughts seem to be as tangled as her body.

She knows she has less than a year to plan how to kill herself, but it’s hard to get motivated. The choice is simple - her life to save everyone else. It’s the right choice… the only choice. Amber just has to commit to it.

The Iron Altar is waiting for blood.
