ShadowTech

Ryann never wanted to be a commander. Nor did she want to be a fugitive, on the run from the company that trained and enhanced her. And she definitely didn't want to end up in a lawless desert city, hunting an ancient tech relic for a double-crossing crime boss. The relic is the key to untapped power, and others hunt it with ruthless determination, willing to kill any who get in their way. As enemies close in, as the company watches from the shadows, and as her crew crumbles around her, Ryann must fight like she's never fought before. Desert Bound is the first book in the sci-fi/adventure series ShadowTech.

As the Ancients collect those with 'potential' and Kaiahive gear up for an all-out assault that will lead to devastating retaliation, time is running out. But who can turn the tide? Brice, prisoner of the Ancients and all alone? Keelin, reunited with her NeoGen sisters but still inferior to the company's Eves? Deva, lattice-less and adrift in the city beneath? Or Ryann, struggling to hold the Collective secure as the company bears down? As futile as it appears, they must fight on. Because if they give up, it's the end of humanity.
