Desert Bound

They can't trust anyone else. But can they trust themselves?

Five fugitives, desperate to keep one step ahead of the company that made them what they are, that now hounds them mercilessly. Five ordinary people struggling to survive in a world that sees them as a threat. Five individuals unsure who they really are.

Ryann holds them together, but worries she cares too much to do the right thing for them. Deva fights against everything that marks her as different. Piran, cut off from his lattice, struggles to remember who he is without it. Brice, despite everything he's already endured, is still too impetuous, too likely to let his heart rule his head. And Keelin, torn between the person she is and the thing the company made her.

A job in the desert city of Athelios was supposed to keep them one step ahead. Instead, it's pulling them into something larger, darker and older than they realise — and something that could tear them apart.

Some adventures are simple. This one just looks that way.

Desert Bound is the first book in the ShadowTech series — seven books, one crew, and threats that grow with every step.
