Dark Fire Releases!

By Cynthia Sax on June 12, 2018

Woot!
Dark Fire has released! I love Dare and Faylee and hope you enjoy reading this story as much I enjoyed writing it!

Dark Fire Alien Romance

Dark Fire

What the Beast wants, the Beast gets.

Dare’s savage nature has made him an outcast among his kind. The silver-scaled Dracheon warrior can’t control his inner beast. It’s too strong. When his primitive instincts told him his destined mate was on Carinae E, he had no choice. He had to travel to the outlaw planet. There, he hoped to meet a female powerful enough to survive his Drache.

He finds Faylee, a delicate little human.

Faylee is the best thief on the planet. Everyone she encounters mistakes her for a young boy…except for a tall, shiny warrior from off-planet. When she gazes into Dare’s flame-filled eyes, he makes her feel, for the first time, like a desirable female. The fire-breathing male has her yearning for hot kisses, fierce embraces, and a future filled with love. She doesn’t realize mating with him might be the last thing she ever does.

Dare’s beast isn’t the only danger on the planet. An enemy from the past has returned and he’s determined to stop Dare and Faylee…permanently. They’ll need luck and the assistance of every warrior in the Refuge to stay alive.

Dark Fire is a STANDALONE SciFi Romance set in a gritty, dark world.

Mirage and The Caves

By Cynthia Sax on June 6, 2018

Part of Dark Fire is set in Mirage, a play place for the credit-heavy on Carinae E. It may seem strange that beings with the ability to go anywhere would choose a rough outlaw planet as a vacation spot.

I’ve visited some rough places on Earth and in every spot, there has been a fancy resort or some other property catering to the wealthy. Not-as-civilized places have different rules and often fewer of them. Things that might be illegal elsewhere (like the fights to the death featured on Carinae E) are tolerated. There’s also the appeal of roughing it, sort of like exotic camping.

It’s logical that outlaw planets like Carinae E would also attract the same sort of beings.

In Mirage, the high credit beings live in structures. These domiciles are fabricated with all of the devices and features a being could wish to have in a home. They are as individual as the beings living in them, pure luxury.

The poor, including our heroine Faylee, live in the caves. They can’t live in the open due to the brutal desert climate. The caves provide shade from the harsh sun.

I’ve seen that also while I was traveling. The poor construct makeshift homes in caves, the walls, floors and roofs provided by nature. There’s no sewage system so the smell is eye-watering and the refuse builds up. The garbage and other waste has nowhere to go.

It is merely subsistence living and Faylee dreams of a future outside the caves. She’ll do anything to make that dream a reality, even steal from a huge silver-scaled Dracheon warrior.

Dark Fire – Fourth Scene From The First Chapter

By Cynthia Sax on June 4, 2018

While we wait for Dark Fire (Releasing on June 12th! Woot!), I’m sharing the first chapter with you.

Read the first scene here: http://tasteofcyn.com/?p=6383

Today, I’m sharing the fourth and final scene from Chapter One.

***

“I don’t believe it. I know it.” Kralj hit him with another burst of air. “You’re leading this mission. Ensuring the Rebel agent arrives at the Refuge safely is your responsibility. The Humanoid Alliance is monitoring the space outside my terrain but they aren’t blocking beings from entering it. The challenge will be to avoid detection.”

“That’s doable.” Dita’s eyes glowed.

“I’ll be asking your advice on how to do it.” Dare told her. Kralj’s mate was a skilled assassin. Her knowledge would be invaluable. “Am I bringing a team?”

“My advice is to limit the number of beings.” Dita answered for the Ruler. “Convince her to leave her associates behind also. It’s easier to sneak two beings into the Refuge than thirty beings.”

The two beings were the Rebel agent and himself. There was no room in that equation for a third being, his mate.

Dare exhaled deeply, relieved. He wouldn’t be meeting her on this mission.

“What do you plan to wear?” Dita eyed him. “You have to conceal every expanse of bare skin, including your face.”

His Drache rumbled with discontentment. It didn’t like excess garments, was annoyed by the ass coverings Dare insisted upon wearing. “I haven’t—”

The doors opened. Three tiny beings flew into the chamber so quickly their forms blurred. Smack. Smack. Smack. They hit Kralj’s leather-clad chest, their arms and legs flattening against him.

The winged offspring slid down his form, falling. The Ruler caught them in his arms. They chortled with glee, flapping their wings, gripping his jacket with their chubby fingers.

Their father was the next to enter the chambers, flying through the doors at a more controlled speed, his expression harried. “Sorry, sir.” Orol apologized. “They figured out the new locks and escaped.”

“They are modified humanoids.” Kralj had little tolerance for failure. “I’ll have the locks upgraded. You work on their landings. That was…undignified.”

One of the male offspring, Dare couldn’t distinguish between the trio, rubbed his face against the Ruler’s neck, cooing happily. The other two squirmed as they slugged each other, flesh slapping flesh.

Orol pried them one by one off Kralj’s jacket. They howled with distress.

“They know they shouldn’t be coming here without permission.” The winged warrior put two babies on his shoulder, tucked the third under his left arm. “We’ve discussed—”

“Did you find them?” Rhea, Orol’s mate, entered the chambers, her face red, her chest heaving. “Thank the stars.” She took one of the offspring from her male. “I turned my back for a moment and they were gone. It was like they synchronized their escape.”

That was probable. The babies would have a sibling bond and they were enhanced beings, would be fully grown within a solar cycle.

Dare gazed at the little warriors with a tinge of envy. He wanted offspring…and a mate.

But that came at a risk, a risk he was unwilling to take.

Orol and Rhea worked as a team to manage their small family. As the couple wrestled with the tiny males, they plotted ways to restrict their charges’ movements.

Which was counterproductive as their babies could hear them.

They were three modified humanoids versus one modified humanoid and one extremely skilled human. And the babies were motivated. They clearly wanted to be with Kralj, around whom much of the action happened.

The couple should concede defeat now.

Kralj and Dita bumped shoulders, relaying information through touch. They had the power and ability to evict Orol, Rhea, and the three little males from their working chambers, yet they didn’t.

That told Dare they enjoyed having the babies close to them. The tiny warriors, the first of their kind, had given all of the modified humanoids hope.

They wouldn’t be risking their females’ lives by mating with them. Dare quietly slipped out of the chambers, headed toward the settlement’s gates.

There were tasks to complete before he left for his mission. He had to seek Dita’s expertise on how to remain undetected. Weapons and garments had to be retrieved. But first, he’d take one more look at the beings waiting outside the walls.

He couldn’t quash that impulse. His more rational humanoid side dreaded meeting his female, knowing it could end in her death. His Drache, driven by its primitive urges, had to find her, was growing increasing restless.

Perhaps his female, whoever she was, would have the strength to handle his beast. He lacked control. She could have it in surplus.

She’d be a female with the highest integrity. He was certain of that. She would be his match in that area.

The combination of honor and control would cause his mate to be appreciated and admired by other Dracheons. They would embrace her. Not with open arms. That wasn’t their way. But with polite approving nods.

And because she was his and he was hers, they would be forced to accept him as well. They would include him, welcome him, respect him.

There would be no more discussions about whether or not a genetic anomaly such as himself should be allowed to mate, to exist. They would see the proof in his mate’s humanoid-like face.

He didn’t fit into their society but his female would.

She’d be a paragon, the perfect Dracheon.

His beast yawned yet again.
