Steampunk Apocalypse

Sequel to 'Moon's Betrayal' set a month shy of the twin's eighteenth birthday. References to book one. Can be read as standalone. Follows Bellamy Carter, the Siphon who helped the Venscothi family time and again in the first book, and Kenzie Venscothi, the female twin of our favorite Krosthani trio. Kenzie has been raised believing that she has no magic or wolf which was supposedly the result of inheriting the Nokaura poison that once ravaged her mother's body. What she does not know is that this is a lie that they concocted after she was born to try and protect her from a prophecy that pits her against Asry the Nokaura King. Bellamy comes back just in time to save her before her parents do something that will unknowingly kill her. He helps her get away from the lies she has been told all these years. The truth is remarkable. She has the most powerful magic he has ever encountered. It is one reason his magic always manifested strongly around her growing up because hers was being suppressed. Their destiny brings them together in the most intimate way possible. It will irrevocably change the world of witches, a people that they belong to more than the shifter side of their hybrid DNA. Everything has a balance in their world. Strong magic comes with a weakened wolf. They are more witch than shifter. They not only have to face Asry but also have to deal with other powerful witches who want to either enslave them or destroy them. There are even more enemies lurking in the shadows just biding their time to strike. Can they protect each other while protecting everyone else as well? Can they figure out who their enemies are and stop them before it is too late?

Shantali Jackson awakens from cryostasis to discover she's been asleep for over 600 years. A working-class woman from the pre-collapse era, she finds herself in a sterile medical facility, where staff address her as royalty and claim she's the beloved of Prince Costa—a man she barely remembers meeting at Le Glow Club one fateful night. As fragmented memories surface, Shantali learns the devastating truth: she and Costa were never willing participants in the preservation program. After publicly defying their arranged marriages to choose each other, they were declared enemies of the state and forcibly preserved by the Emergency Preservation Committee. They've been awakened seventeen times for six centuries, only to have their memories wiped when they refused to comply with the Council's genetic breeding program. This time is different—the memory suppression technology is failing, and ghostly echowisps (manifestations of psychic trauma) guide them through their escape. With the help of Marcus, a resistance member, they flee to the underground networks where Shantali discovers shocking truths: her half-brother Elliot became a resistance leader, Costa's parents have been working to undermine the Council for centuries, and the outside world has been habitable for generations. The couple escapes to Haven's Gate, one of seven thriving Eastern Sanctuaries where humanity has rebuilt naturally. But freedom is short-lived when they learn Dr. Thorne and other preservation specialists are using extracted consciousness data to create a new form of control—artificial minds programmed for obedience. Refusing to remain passive victims, Shantali and Costa make a bold choice: they'll pose as desperate refugees seeking re-preservation, walking willingly into Dr. Thorne's trap to stop his plans once and for all. Their love story becomes humanity's last hope against a system that would sacrifice free will for genetic perfection. A tale of choice, resistance, and the power of love.
