- 2022 Expanded Edition - EVERY MAN WANTS HER. MANY WANT TO KILL HER. Good luck to them…. For the first time in her life, Sal has a place to belong, and it feels so right. The iliri live in packs. The Black Blades is hers. But humans see them only as a military unit, and one with a little too much influence. To keep the "scrubbers" from gaining an advantage, humans will do anything - and none of it good. The only people they can trust are themselves. But this time, they need help. Eight elite soldiers aren't enough to stop the bride headed to Anglia. If that country get two thousand kilos of steel, it'll change the tide of war, and the Conglomerate of Free Citizens will be caught in the middle. The Black Blades have to trust someone, but their only options are humans. Hopefully, their "friends" aren't as dangerous as the enemy. Like all the books in this series, Rise of the Iliri is a complete epic science-fantasy novel, without a cliffhanger. The female lead has multiple consensual romantic relationships as well as fulfilling friendships that matter to the storyline. Because the iliri have insatiable and exotic sexual instincts, the smoking hot sex may make it unsuitable for humans under 18.
