A Dawn of Unlikely Bonds

​

A single choice can change everything.

Nickel Cly has known Bitzers aren’t supposed to get involved in conflicts between slaves and their masters, especially in ways that end in bloodshed, and never questioned it. Until a chance encounter preys on his sense of honor. Now, having technically broken Outback law by saving a non-magic wielder from the slave master that was beating her, he has a choice to make: send her back to the Republic, send her back to the slave trade, or protect her from those who wish to harm her, all while threats from her past close in.

Trapper Calchas has spent the last two years trapped in the New Australian Republic’s prison and wants nothing more than to walk free again. But when the opportunity to escape presents itself, he can’t help but take it. Now injured and still shackled with a device that makes him unable to use magic, he now faces a long road out of enemy territory, one that just happens to lead him to an unlikely encounter and, maybe, a real connection.
