Throwback Thursday – Warlord’s Bounty

By Cynthia Sax on September 9, 2021

Each of the three Warlord brothers ruling the Chamele sector has their own specialty. Khan, the hero of Warlord’s Bounty, is the warrior. He prefers to take action and he really enjoys killing. Any relationship he has will be extremely physical.

Which suits Zeta, his gerel, as she is also a take action type of being. She’s a bounty hunter determined to capture Khan. What she doesn’t realize is… he WANTS to be captured.

Warlord’s Bounty

Wanted: One Barbarian Warrior.

The bigger the bounty, the more dangerous the target.

Khan, a Chamele Warlord, has a huge bounty on his head. His enemy wants him captured and is offering any being in the universe an outrageous number of credits to accomplish that.

Khan wants to be captured, but only if the being apprehending him is a tiny, brown-eyed female with wickedly sharp daggers and an even sharper tongue. His passion for the feisty human can’t be inhibited by restraints. He’ll allow her to subdue him…in a variety of enticing ways.

When she finally collects her credits, he’ll collect his revenge, killing his enemy and claiming his little bounty hunter forever.

Zeta doesn’t do forever. After a lifespan of chasing dangerous beings across galaxies, apprehending and trading them for credits, she doesn’t get involved emotionally…with anyone.

Khan might be fierce and sexy and the most dominant male she has ever encountered, but the barbarian is also her target, and once she sates herself with his body, she’ll betray him.

That’s her job.

Warlord’s Bounty is based on a much shorter story sharing the same title.
It is a STANDALONE Alien Barbarian SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes violent universe.

Throwback Thursday – Warlord Sky

By Cynthia Sax on August 26, 2021

Warlord Sky is a special story for a number of reasons.

It is the first story in the Chamele Barbarian Warlords series.

Warlord Sky features a pilot hero. Many of the heroes in my stories are warriors. Qulpa can fight but he prefers flying.

This story also features a non-human heroine. Nayan, the head of Ship and Weapons Design for Khan, is a Chamele but due to her…challenges, she is extremely human-like.

If you’re looking for a steamy alien romance that is a little bit different, something to bust you out of a reading rut, Warlord Sky might be just the story you’re seeking!  

Warlord Sky

No one grounds a barbarian warrior.

Qulpa, a Chamele warrior, lost everyone he loved in the brutal Succession Wars. Flying is the only thing that brings him joy. Serving as his team’s pilot is the sole duty he has left. Then a horrific crash leaves him injured and unable to fly.

The one being who can help him is also his gerel, the female destined to be his. She insists she doesn’t feel their connection. Qulpa is certain his beautiful mate is lying and nothing will stop him from finding out why.

Nayan knows the injured barbarian is her warrior, her one chance at a forever bond. His dominance makes her feel safe. His gentle touch inflames her passion. His kisses scorch her very soul. The tall muscular male tempts her as no one else has.

But she has a deadly secret. If it’s exposed, her injured male will lose more than his ability to fly. Both of them will die. She can’t take that risk, not for him, not for them, not for a lifespan filled with love.

Throwback Thursday – Warlord’s Bounty

By Cynthia Sax on April 29, 2021

Warlord’s Bounty was originally the first story in the Chamele Barbarian Warlords series. Khan, the battle-loving Warlord brother, was the first character I ‘met.’ All the other heroes in the series are named after Mongolian Khans. Khan is named after the role.

Zeta, the heroine, is Khan’s match. She is officially a bounty hunter but her heart is that of a warrior. She’s a little rough around the edges, brusque, brave, quick-thinking, honorable.

We spend a bit of time with all the Warlords in this story and we also meet three of heroines. I think you’ll enjoy this story.

Throwback Thursday – Warlord Sky

By Cynthia Sax on March 25, 2021

Warlord Sky is the first standalone story in the new complete Chamele Barbarian Warlords series. Ironically, it is the only one of two stories that DON’T have a Warlord hero. The hero of Warlord Sky is Qulpa, a Chamele pilot. He has been injured, worries he’ll never fly again.

The one being who could make that happen is Nayan, the head of Ship and Weapons Design. She is brilliant yet doesn’t trust anyone. Nayan deliberately isolates herself from other Chameles.

When the two of them meet, it is explosive. Literally. (grins)

Throwback Thursday – Warlord Sky

By Cynthia Sax on December 17, 2020

Warlord Sky is currently 99 cents everywhere and I thought it would be nice to feature it today. I love this story. I think you’ll love it also.

Warlord Sky is the first story in the now completed Chamele Barbarian Warlords series. It features a wounded barbarian pilot hero and an inventor engineer heroine who is too human than she’d like to be.

 Both of them have given up on romantic love. Both have created unconventional families for themselves (one of them literally – grins). And when they meet, they fit. They might fight that fit but it is strong and there and undeniable.

Throwback Thursday – Warlord Sky

By Cynthia Sax on November 12, 2020

I know, I know. Warlord Sky isn’t that old. But as the series is now complete, I thought it would be nice to feature it again.

Nayan, the heroine of Warlord Sky, is one of my favorite heroines EVER (of the ones I’ve written about). And I love the robot ‘family’ she has created. Hitch, her tiny hitchhiker bot, makes me laugh. Tubby is so very sweet. They adore their maker.

Qulpa, the hero, is super hunky yet extremely understanding. He admires his fated mate’s intellect as much as he desires her form. And he has his own ‘created’ family, the other warriors on the ship’s crew.

Warlord’s Bounty – Fourth Scene Of The First Chapter

By Cynthia Sax on May 6, 2019

Warlord’s Bounty, the second story in the Chamele Barbarian Warlords series, will be releasing on May 14th.

I’m sharing the first chapter while we wait.

You can read the first scene here: http://tasteofcyn.com/?p=6815

Today, I’m sharing the fourth and final scene of the first chapter.

***

“Murad will be used as bait.” Berke disagreed with Khan’s participation in the plan. “The bounty hunter will try to limit our access to her ship’s systems. Countering that requires Murad’s skills. He can intercept communications, track Tolui’s approach, take over control of the vessel before that rogue male boards it.”

“I will be the warrior to do that.” Khan wouldn’t move on his position. “The bounty hunter will land on Chamele 4. While she’s tracking her original target, Murad will enter her ship and give me access.” He looked at his younger brother, seeking his agreement.

Murad shrugged. “Either way works for me.”

“It doesn’t work for me.” Berke was determined to be a hard-ass. “The warrior also has to be skilled in deception. He must lie to the bounty hunter, act as though he doesn’t want to be caught.”

“I can do that.” Khan heard the doubt in his own voice.

Berke’s expression said he didn’t believe him.

“I can do that as well as Murad can.” He amended his statement.

Subterfuge wasn’t a Chamele strength. Conversations were blunt, without artifice. Lies were abhorred. Enemies were confronted face-to-face, no tricks, no dishonesty.

Deceiving another being, especially his gerel, didn’t appeal to Khan. But if it was necessary in order to defeat Tolui, he’d swallow his qualms.

“I’m the best warrior in the Chamele sector.” He presented the case for being chosen. “Tolui tried to kill my second-in-command.” That had been a strike right at his soul. “He’s abducted some of the females and children under my protection, stolen my ships, taunted me again and again.” Fury flowed through him. “He caused the deaths of three of my warriors and two mates this planet rotation alone.” Those deaths continued to anger him. “I’ve earned the right to face the warrior, to be the one to end his lifespan.”

“He’s abducted females and children from all of our planets.” Berke leaned forward.

Khan did that same. “I’m our best warrior.” He repeated that undeniable fact.

“Khan is our best warrior.” Murad didn’t challenge him for that title. “I’ll give myself as much remote access to the ship as possible. Though I suspect Khan can merely overpower the bounty hunter if that is required…providing she’s humanoid.”

“She’s humanoid.” She was genetically compatible with him. She had to be humanoid. “I can deal with the bounty hunter.” That prospect excited him. “Leave her and Tolui to me.”

Berke held his gaze.

Moments passed, moments that could have been utilized to implement the strategy, stop the enemy.

“You have to stick to the plan.” His older brother warned him. “I’ve detailed every step of it. There’s no space for rash action, for charging into battle with your claws extended.”

Charging into battle with his claws extended was what had won the Succession Wars for them. Khan kept his countenance as blank as possible. “Why would I deviate from your plan?”

“I don’t know.” Murad’s eyes danced with humor. “Maybe because you’ve never stuck to a plan in your entire lifespan?”

Khan scowled at his younger brother before returning his gaze to Berke. “If my reward is killing Tolui, I’ll do anything you ask me to do.

There was another frustrating pause.

“I can’t believe I’m saying this.” His brother exhaled noisily. “But yes, you can be bait.”

Khan smothered a triumphant grin. He would be the warrior meeting with his bounty hunter.

“Murad, you’ll enter the bounty hunter’s ship, commandeer her systems.” Berke assigned their younger brother that role. “I’ll coordinate everything from Chamele 1.”

Berke’s planet was the farthest from the sun, closest to the edge of Chamele territory. His priority was ensuring the entire sector was protected from invasion.

“Do what you need to do to prepare.” Berke gave them those instructions. “We’ll go over the plan in detail at sunrise.” He ended the transmission.

The images of his brothers disappeared from the viewscreen, as did the footage of the ship. Khan brought that footage back, gazed at the vessel.

His gerel was inside it.

During the Succession Wars, he’d traveled to all of the planets, had interacted with almost every being in the Chamele sector. None of them had affected him.

He’d accepted he wouldn’t have a gerel, had focused on fighting, on protecting others. And he’d enjoyed that. Greatly. A born warrior, he belonged on the battlefield, had relished defeating enemies, wielding swords and axes, and utilizing his claws.

That part of his lifespan would soon end. After they’d killed Tolui, the sector would be peaceful.

Boring.

Bonding with his gerel might ease the ennui…if they survived the less-than-optimal start to their relationship.

For Berke’s plan to work, he had to deceive his gerel. And she would eventually have to betray him.

Zondoo. Khan raked his fingers through his hair. He had killed beings for doing less.

Their bond would physically last a lifespan. Emotionally, it might be severed before it could fully form.

But there were no other honorable choices. His role as Warlord meant he had a responsibility to his loyal warriors and their families.

He had to risk his one chance at companionship, at having a mate, children, to stop Tolui, to end the threats against the beings he protected.

Khan tapped on the viewscreen. “Second.”

“My lord.” Oghul’s scarred face appeared on the surface.

“There’s a ship entering the Chamele sector.” He sent his gerel’s coordinates to the male. “I want two of our best ships to escort it to Chamele 4. They are to stay as far away from the vessel as possible while still protecting it. They aren’t to communicate with its captain unless I approve that communication. Understand?”

“I understand, my lord.” Oghul’s head dipped. “One of those ships will be mine.”

“Assign the task to two other crews.” Khan needed his best warrior elsewhere. “I will be going off-planet for a while and will have limited access to communications. I need you to guard Chamele 2.”

“Yes, my lord.” Oghul stood taller, his second-in-command recognizing his assignment as the honor it was.

“If there is an incident you can’t handle, contact Warlord Berke on Chamele 1.” His brother would protect Khan’s planet and his beings also. “I’m counting on you, Second.”

“I won’t let you down, my lord.” The warrior’s chin lifted.

“I know you won’t.” The male had earned Khan’s trust. Oghul had never betrayed him, had never deceived him.

Khan ended the communication and gazed at his gerel’s ship.

Would he be able to forgive Zeta after she delivered him to the enemy, after she traded his lifespan for a handful of credits?

Would she ever view him as honorable once his lies were exposed?

Allies or enemies, there was no middle ground. Not for him. Not for them.

He hoped for the former.

Their dubious beginning pointed to the latter.
