Throwback Thursday – Warlord Reunited

By Cynthia Sax on March 12, 2026

Berke, the alien Warlord hero of Warlord Reunited, is an eldest brother and he takes his responsibilities, especially the duty of protecting others, extremely seriously.

He willingly sacrifices his own happiness and health to ensure his gerel, his human fated mate, is safeguarded.

Elle, his gerel, doesn’t know this.

And she is very, VERY angry about the tactics he has undertaken to protect her.

Killing-levels of angry.

(grins)

Warlord Reunited

This barbarian warrior’s cold demeanor hides the warmest of hearts.
* * *
Solar cycles ago, Berke, a savage Chamele Warlord, found his gerel, the one being he is destined to be with for all time…except he couldn’t embrace that fate. He was fighting a series of brutal wars.

To protect his little human female, he conveyed her far from the Chamele sector. He then returned to the endless battles, concealing his pain, his anguish, his need, under a thick layer of ice.

His gerel was safe. That was all that mattered to him.

When Elle was a young bounty hunter, she bonded with an arrogant warrior on a distant planet. She was deliriously happy…for a while. Then he dumped her in a strange settlement far from his home and left, never to return.

Their parting caused her excruciating pain—both physical and emotional. She endured it, earned the esteemed role of head bounty hunter of an academy, salvaged a bit of a life from the disaster her primitive warrior had made of it.

Now, two of her bounty hunters have made the same terrible mistake. Elle is determined to rescue her friends and break their connections with their Chamele Warlords.

While she is in the sector, she plans to kill the warrior she’d once considered hers. Elle is ending her relationship with Berke…permanently.
* * *
Warlord Reunited is based on a much shorter story sharing the same title.
It is a STANDALONE Alien Barbarian SciFi Romance featuring a warrior hero and a take-charge heroine set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.

Throwback Thursday – Warlord Unarmed

By Cynthia Sax on February 26, 2026

Gale, the human bounty hunter heroine of Warlord Unarmed, is…well…some unkind beings might call her a hoarder but she prefers to think of herself as a collector.

She collects broken items loved ones have discarded.

She was discarded as a child because she was ‘broken’ and doesn’t want that to happen to anything or anyone else.

Murad, the tech-loving alien barbarian hero, would be quite happy if Gale collected him.

(grins)

Warlord Unarmed

Protected by the Barbarian Warrior
* * *
Murad, a technology-loving Chamele Warlord, has to track down and eliminate a rogue warrior before that male ends Murad’s reign. Permanently.

When a pieced-together wreck of a ship enters the sector without authorization, Murad assumes it is piloted by an ally of his enemy and decides to blow the battered vessel out of open space.

Then he hears the voice of its sole occupant and his orders and his priorities immediately shift. The captain of the ship is his gerel, the one female he’s genetically compatible with—the light to his darkness, his future, his everything.

He will protect her…even if it costs him his life.

Bounty hunter Gale doesn’t want or need protection. She has entered Chamele space on a rescue mission. A tall, muscular, half-naked barbarian with humor-lit eyes and gentle hands won’t distract her from that purpose, no matter what he tries.

A broken ship and an enemy focused on revenge do interfere with her plans. Gale’s goal changes from saving a friend to saving herself. The only being who can increase her chances of survival is the one Warlord she can’t resist.

Throwback Thursday – Warlord’s Bounty

By Cynthia Sax on February 12, 2026

All three of the Warlord brothers ruling the Chamele sector are skilled warriors.

Khan, the hero of Warlord’s Bounty, however is the best fighter on the battlefield. He is strong and fierce and he prefers action over words.

Zeta, the human heroine, is determined to collect the big bounty on his primitive head.

(grins)

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.

Throwback Thursday – Warlord’s Return

By Cynthia Sax on July 10, 2025

I love circular storytelling and Warlord’s Return brings us back to where the Chamele Barbarian Warlords series began – in the Refuge, the settlement in the Dark Thoughts series.

There’s also an adorably bloodthirsty mini-dragon.

(grins)

Warlord’s Return

Ariq is a barbarian warrior seeking a war.

He locates that battle when he meets Xareni.

* * *

Ariq is one of Chamele’s top warriors. A genetic predisposition to fighting, paired with intensive training and experience, has honed the scarred male into an effective killing machine. He loves war, can’t live without combat.

The Succession Wars, however, have finally ended and the Chamele sector is now at peace. Seeking excitement and purpose, the barbarian warrior accompanies his Second to the Refuge, an outlaw settlement on Carinae E. He hopes to locate the battle he’s been craving there.

Ariq finds that conflict and more when he meets his fated mate.

Xareni owes the Ruler of the Refuge a favor. That’s the only reason she has returned to the settlement. She doesn’t like crowds or structures or a certain barbarian warrior who insists on following her everywhere. It doesn’t matter that there’s a connection between them, that he makes her burn with desire, that he looks at her with heat in his dark eyes.

She’s a monster and monsters don’t need anyone.

Warlord’s Return is a STANDALONE Alien Barbarian SciFi Romance featuring a determined barbarian warrior, an equally resolute human female, and an eyeball-eating mini dragon.

Throwback Thursday – Warlord’s Mercy

By Cynthia Sax on June 26, 2025

I love a great villain turned hero story. I also love surprises during the writing of my stories.

Warlord’s Mercy gives me both.

Because Tolui, the hero of Warlord’s Mercy, is the big baddie in the previous stories in the series. I was CERTAIN the Warlord brothers would defeat him…permanently.

I was surprised when Tolui not only survived but insisted on having his own romantic happy ever after.

(grins)

Tolui has a very strong sense of honor. It is unique to him but it exists. He also had to do some terrible things to protect the beings he cares about.

But he is more like the Warlord brothers than any of them realize.

I love him. Lea, his heroine, (eventually) loves him.

I suspect you’ll love him also.

(smiles)

Other Chameles view him as the enemy.

She sees the warrior hero he never believed he could be.

* * *

Tolui is a Warlord in search of a planet to rule. He has been leading his fellow clones in a stealth battle, fighting for both control of the Chamele sector and the right to exist. The brave warriors he commands warrant respect, and they deserve the best.

That best isn’t the barren, dangerous terrain on Chamele 4. When Tolui crashes on that planet’s surface, he’s determined to leave it as soon as possible. The tiny human female rescuing him might be as beautiful and as wild as the land she inhabits, but her flowing words, trusting gaze, and enthralling submission won’t stop him from rejoining the war.

After many solar cycles of living alone, Lea is overjoyed when a tall, scarred, muscular warrior falls from the sky. Her savage stranger is strong and severe, and he makes her feel safe, an emotion she hasn’t experienced in a long, long time.

He also insists they must part. Before they do, she’ll show him the splendor of her home, and she’ll enjoy his big form, collecting passionate moments she can revisit when she’s solitary once more.

Every additional moment Lea and Tolui spend together increases the chance they’ll both die. Lea is being chased by female-hating fiends. Tolui is being hunted by the best bounty hunters in the universe. War will soon arrive on their threshold, and the blood spilled might be their own.

Throwback Thursday – Warlord Reunited

By Cynthia Sax on June 12, 2025

What happens when fated mates are forced to part ways?

Warlord Reunited explores this.

Berke dumps Elle, his gerel, his fated mate on a distant planet. He does this to protect her.

But he f*cks the situation up completely.

(grins)

And now, solar cycles later, Elle is determined to sever their bond…permanently. She plans to dust his sexy barbarian a$$. And she has the skills to do that.

Yep, this is a reunion romance / enemies-to-lovers romance.

Throwback Thursday – Warlord’s Bounty

Warlord’s Bounty was originally the first story in the Chamele Barbarian Warlords series.

Throwback Thursday – Warlord’s Return

By Cynthia Sax on October 10, 2024

I originally thought Ariq, the hero of Warlord’s Return, would fall in love with a very different being, a medic who practiced in the Refuge, the settlement featured in the Dark Thoughts/Refuge series.

Ariq wasn’t having any of that. (grins) His attention was immediately snagged by Xareni.

Because…of course, it was. SHE IS AWESOME. Frag. A mini dragon has adopted her. That’s how amazing she is.

Warlord’s Return

Ariq is a barbarian warrior seeking a war.

He locates that battle when he meets Xareni.

Throwback Thursday – Warlord’s Mercy

By Cynthia Sax on September 26, 2024

When I started writing The Chamele Barbarian Warlords series, I thought it would end after the third brother found romantic happiness. I thought they would defeat Tolui, the big baddie…permanently. He was slated to die.

I’m SO glad he wasn’t killed because he’s one of my favorite heroes I’ve ever written. He has valid reasons for doing what he’s doing. And he has his own sense of honor.

I love him. And I suspect you might love him also. (smiles)

Other Chameles view him as the enemy.

She sees the warrior hero he never believed he could be.
