Discord's Blade

The Medusa Syndicate: Book 1

Advance Reader Copy

Blurb

When secrets are exposed and trust betrayed, estranged lovers must forge an uneasy alliance.

A genesplice mercenary. A fallen cop. Shattered trust.

When she’s not serving drinks to gruff solar-harvester technicians or cuddling her cat Silas, unsanctioned splice Eris prowls the star quadrant, delivering vigilante justice at the end of her blade. Juggling assignments from The Medusa Syndicate and her life on Janus isn’t easy. And that delicate balance is threatened when she takes matters into her own hands to protect a friend.

Disgraced detective turned private investigator Miles Beckett is Nightside City Police Department’s go-to expert for solving tough cases. When a body with a familiar face bearing a distinctive clue is added to his docket, his professional and personal lives collide. Forced to question everything, Beck balances on a knife’s edge with an uncertain future.

Author

Raised in New Jersey and Arizona, Ariadne always dreamed of what lay beyond, her eyes drawn to the stars—at least when they weren't buried in the pages of a book, dreaming of the fantastical and the magical.

Today, she lives just outside Washington, DC, with her husband and Lucifer the dog, penning science fiction and fantasy stories with smart, competent, and occasionally morally gray heroines, often paired with a healthy dollop of romance. When not actively writing or scheming about how to torment her characters, she can be found hoarding nail polish and books and learning new apocalypse survival skills.
