Breeder: The Ephemeral Trilogy, Book 1 (Unabridged‪)‬

An outcast cursed to consume the memories of anything she touches. A woman fated to repopulate the nation's army. A breeder barred from the sword.

Seventeen-year-old Alex Kingsley is determined to evade her marriage contract and a life of prescribed motherhood, even if it means competing in Belgate's enlistment trials under false pretenses.

But when the netherworld cracks open, Alex is handed a burden far heavier than bending the minds of men. As darkness spills across the land, she must ally with her critics and unleash a curse that was never forged for battle—a curse that now stands between mankind and oblivion.
