UNTAMED (Untamed #1)
In a world where addiction is encouraged, one girl must fight to stay clean…
As one of the last Untamed humans left in the world, Seven’s life has always been controlled by tight rules. Stay away from the Enhanced. Don’t question your leader. And, most importantly, never switch sides–because once you’re Enhanced there’s no going back. Even if you have become the perfect human being.
But after a disastrous raid on an Enhanced city, Seven soon finds herself in her enemy’s power. Realizing it’s only a matter of time before she too develops a taste for the chemical augmenters responsible for the erosion of humanity, Seven knows she must act quickly if she’s to escape and save her family from the same fate.
Yet, as one of the most powerful Seers that the Untamed and Enhanced have ever known, Seven quickly discovers that she alone holds the key to the survival of only one race. But things aren’t clear-cut anymore, and with Seven now questioning the very beliefs she was raised on, she knows she has an important choice to make. One that has two very different outcomes.
Seven must choose wisely whose side she joins, for the War of Humanity is underway, and Death never takes kindly to traitors.
FRAGMENTED (Untamed #2)
Forced marriages. Evil spirits. Devastating lies.
After the terrible battle against the Enhanced Ones, Seven and Corin find themselves on the run. With the Enhanced closing in, Seven knows they need to find other people on their side. So, when the opportunity arises to join the Zharat, one of the last surviving Untamed tribes, it seems like the perfect solution.
But the Zharat lifestyle is a far cry from what Seven’s used to. With their customs dictating that she must marry into their tribe, and her relationship with Corin breaking down, Seven knows she has to do something before it’s too late. But that’s easier said than done in a tribe where going against the rules automatically results in death.
And, with the Enhanced still out there, nowhere is truly safe for the Untamed-least of all for the most powerful Seer in the world… and Seven soon discovers how far people will go to ensure she’s on their side in the War of Humanity.
Battling against the emerging web of lies, manipulation, and danger, Seven must remember who she was meant to be. Her life has never been more at stake. Nor has humanity itself.

DIVIDED (Untamed #3)
EXPLOITATION. MANIPULATION. DESPERATION.
Having been tricked into binding herself to the Enhanced Ones in the War of Humanity, Untamed human Seven Sarr has never felt more exploited or used. When Raleigh forces her to develop her Seer powers and use them on a most innocent target, Seven knows it’s only a matter of time before the Enhanced Ones use her to wipe out the rest of her people.
Certain that the only way to save the Untamed would be to get back full control of her soul, Seven must get the Gods and Goddesses to trust her again. Only they can destroy her Enhanced Promise Marks, and prevent her enemy from controlling her.
But these are the same Gods and Goddesses who have already branded Seven a traitor, and exiled her from the Dream Land, fearing she will cause their deaths. With no way to contact the Gods and Goddesses herself, Seven needs help. And she needs it quickly, before the war is over and she loses Corin, and the rest of the Untamed, for good.
Yet, in a world as dangerous as this, only one thing’s for sure: no one trusts a traitor twice.
DESTROYED (Untamed #4)
LOVE. DEATH. SACRIFICE.
THE LAST NIGHT HAS BEGUN.
Seven Sarr, the most powerful human in the world, is alive–and she’s on the run from her enemy. With the Dream Land gone, the Gods and Goddesses dead, and the Untamed’s number of Seers at a record low, Seven knows she must attempt to control the Lost Souls–including the most volatile and dangerous spirits–if her people are to have a chance at beating the Enhanced Ones once and for all.
But when the Enhanced impose a new threat and Corin’s life is at stake, Seven must make her hardest choice: save the man she loves and let her people perish, or allow Corin’s death so the Untamed can survive.
Locked into a tight countdown to her own demise and solitary entrapment within a torturous realm, Seven must make her decision quickly. Her Seer powers are the strongest, and her death will end the War of Humanity once and for all. When the new morning dawns, the world as she knew it will be gone. What–and who–will be left behind is up to Seven.
Will her love shape the future of the world?

A DANGEROUS GAME (Dangerous Ones #1)
Formerly released as a Standalone Novel Set in the Untamed World
When life’s a game, love is a bad move
All her life, adrenaline-junkie Keelie Lin-Sykes has known what she wants: to protect her brother and sisters by killing as many of the soulless Enhanced Ones as she can. Oh, and to have fun while she’s doing it. After all, hiding in a secret Untamed community, while the group’s Seer warns them of danger, shouldn’t mean that life can only be serious, right?
But when a face from her past suddenly–and secretly–shows up, Keelie’s catapulted back into the very world she’s been trying to escape from for the last ten years: a world of guilt, lies, and…love. And the deeper Keelie gets, the bigger the risks become.
Now Keelie must play the most dangerous game of her life if she’s to continue protecting her family. But this game–and her love–may just destroy her.

THIS VICIOUS WAY (Dangerous Ones #2)
REVENGE IS NEVER EASY…
Aged five, Inga was snatched from her sister’s arms by Bridie’s Assassins, a group of Untamed rebels who believe the way to win the War of Humanity is to use more Untamed children as soldiers. For seven years, Inga’s life consisted of violence, exploitation, and death as they shaped her into their most deadly weapon. Then she escaped.
Now twenty-one, Inga has spent the last six years seeking revenge on the assassins–using the skills they taught her against them–and trying to find her family. She knows the Gods and Goddesses are behind her, because with every assassin she murders, Inga’s gifted with a vision of her cousins, Keelie and Elf. And soon–very soon–Inga is sure she will find her family again. She’s just got to kill all the assassins first.
But when she discovers her own sister is now leading the assassins, Inga’s resolve is tested. Sure, she will stop at nothing to get the life she deserves–even if it means putting other Untamed in danger and losing herself–but can she kill her own flesh and blood?

THE THREAT OF THE HUNT (Dangerous Ones #3)
THERE’S ONLY SO FAR YOU CAN RUN…
For two years, free-runner Kacey has been mapping the Enhanced town that her Untamed group intend to reclaim. But on the day of the attack, a betrayal from within ruins any chances they have of succeeding.
Barely escaping from the tunnels under the city, Kacey and the other Untamed survivors find themselves on the run, with the enemy hot on their trail. And leading the enemy is Kacey’s now-Enhanced childhood friend, Red. He’s already lost Keelie in his people’s fight against the Untamed, and Kacey knows he’s going to make sure she is converted, even if it’s the last thing he does.
But Kacey has a secret: a menacing power she does not understand flows through her body, and with each day, it’s growing more and more powerful, both uniting her with others who wield the same energy and boosting her own deadly abilities.
And when the Dangerous Ones come together, the Untamed have a new advantage. One that may just help them reclaim their land and boost their chances of winning the war against the Enhanced Ones–so long as it doesn’t kill all the Untamed first.
