The Phoenix: Invoked

Naera is a world under Human occupation, its native people fighting a war that must be won quickly—lest it not be won at all. After decades of bloodshed, liberation for the Ahresh is finally within reach, and the closer it comes, the less room there is for hesitation. 

The final campaign to seize the occupied capital of Hoté demands unflinching momentum and unwavering unity at the warfront even as civilian lives are reduced to acceptable losses, dissent is reclassified as sabotage, and anything that complicates the optics of victory is erased from the narrative. 

At the heart of the war effort, an Ahresh commander forged by hardship and a human doctor embedded on his crew as a gesture of reconciliation are forced into uneasy proximity aboard the warship driving the assault. One is tasked with keeping the war machine moving; the other refuses to forget who is being crushed beneath its momentum.  

As the pressure mounts, fractures begin to spread through the resistance itself. Long-suppressed disagreements boil over into open conflict, and the lines between liberation, retaliation, and domination begin to blur. The closer victory comes, the more the war tests what its leaders are willing to lose—and who they are willing to sacrifice.

The Dollhouse

Filled wall to wall with the best booze, hottest dancers, and dirtiest secrets money can buy, The Dollhouse is the crown jewel of the nightlife in New Babylon.

 

Jacquelyn “Jax” Navarro works security for the dancers, keeping patrons in line and hands where they belong. But when the club closes, Jax belongs to the city’s illegal cage fighting circuit where she fights under the name Blitzkrieg for the Saints—the gang that turned her from runaway drug mule into one of the circuit’s most impressive fighters.

 

Jax has never thought of herself as trapped. Not when the money’s good, the crowd loves her, and the Saints are the closest thing to family she’s got.

 

Then Sable Moreau steps onto The Dollhouse stage.

 

Before she became Eden, the Dollhouse’s newest rising star, Sable ran information for the Saints’ biggest rivals—the Vipers. When her lover was murdered for a suspected betrayal, Sable sold out her old crew on a plea deal, keeping her freedom at the cost of her own reputation.

 

Now, every gang in the city knows her name.

 

Jax knows better than to get tangled up with someone every crew in the city calls a rat; Sable knows better than to trust someone with Jax’s loyalties.

 

But reputations are everything in New Babylon and the Saints have no intention of letting a rat linger around Jax long enough to learn what she knows.

 

When they decide she has become too dangerous to ignore, they take her and offer Jax one way to settle things: No Bell Night, a no-holds-barred private death match where freedom can be paid for with a life. Her opponent’s, her own, or Sable’s. One way or another, the Saints get their pound of flesh.
