The Dark Servant
Violet Eyes (Dark Servant Book #13)
Duty to one’s family is no duty at all.

High Priest S’Rak and Captain Jisten’s relationship continues to deepen and mature as the pair learns to trust each other and work together to keep the prince, and the kingdom, safe. After foiling another attempt on Prince Jethain’s life, a sacred infant is brought to the palace seeking sanctuary. A Valer girl has been born with the rare violet eyes of sunset, and thus, sacred to Zotien as well as Si’Yeni. Considered an ill omen by the Koilathans, a group of fanatic sun zealots will stop at nothing to kill the baby.

Will S’Rak’s night-born powers, at their lowest ebb, be able to counter the attacks of sun zealots who only ever attack in the bright light of day? Will Jisten’s protective fierceness mean the difference between life and death for the defenseless infant?- Control Spell Crisis - Dark Servant #15

Control Spell Crises (Dark Servant #15)
Which will prove the stronger—the bonds of love or the bonds of magic?

While High Priest S'Rak struggles to escape the control of his past, Captain Jisten wrestles with his inner fear of becoming a monster.

The Zothians have the upper hand over S'Rak. Their magic is strong and unbreakable, or is it? When Hasaviz violates his sworn word, S'Rak sees a glimmer of hope that he might win freedom from his desperate situation. Jisten grows in his role as Rak's partner, until a disastrous encounter causes him to question everything he's doing. His deepest fear has always been that he's no different than the men abusing S'Rak, and now that fear is coming to fruition.

Will S'Rak and Jisten's relationship survive the forces that seemed destined to tear them apart?

Slavers' Guild War (Dark Servant #18)
Grilled minstrel with a side of fried spy.

The slavers are moving against High Priest S’Rak and Captain Jisten to make them pay for the destruction of Wethmir House. Other forces are moving also, secret forces, and S’Rak remains their target. Between Jisten’s racial bond with S’Rak and S’Tyll’s empathic one, there is little the two men can’t accomplish where S’Rak is concerned…so long as they work together. But trust is hard to forge in the aftermath of outraged blows and assassin’s blades, especially after the too-bold bard makes a play for the too-shy captain. If Jisten and S’Tyll can’t learn to trust one another enough to form a working partnership, the one thing they hold dear, S’Rak, could be lost to them both.

Allies and Arrai (Dark Servant #21)
A choice between two bad options is still a choice.

The Therrai healers are summoned to try to heal Captain Jisten, who was nearly killed in the battle with the chaos mage. But the Therrai aren’t the only ones who come through the portal from Okyro, and S’Avetina, High Priest S’Rak’s wife, is less than pleased by recent events. Will Rak’s dignity, and the king’s pride, survive the ire of the powerful mage? Or will the agreement to allow Rak’s son to become Prince Jethain’s heir be cast aside, renewing the political turmoil within the Koilathan palace? As Jisten slowly mends, S’Rak is also faced with a choice of either telling the captain the truth about the kironi magic or denying the baby and the captain what they need.

Enslaved (Dark Servant #23)
The difference between a slave and a servant is perception.

Captain Jisten has won his battle and High Priest S’Rak is now legally his. His intention is to keep S’Rak a slave in name only. But it’s really easy to forget that it’s all a sham when S’Rak is so very sexy and scantily clad. Jisten treads a narrow path between Koilathan law and divine law, with disaster to either side should he falter. Will the captain persevere or will he fall prey to the temptation of Rak’s sweet seduction and his own dominant desires?
