The world is shattered.
Long ago, powerful demonic entities invaded from outside the universe to wage war on the gods. That horrific conflict brought about the Shattering, an apocalyptic cataclysm that ripped the worlds of the Zemyah asunder.
One goddess in particular found opportunity in the cataclysm, as the great rending of spacetime opened up a pocket dimension, a microcosm of habitable space at the intersection of the elemental planes of earth, wind, water, and fire. There she retreated, taking her most loyal followers along to establish an all-female utopia—the Amazon Nation.
But peace requires vigilance, as new, aggressive empires sprang up in the ruined shardworlds of Zemyah. And one particularly powerful mercenary army, empowered by dark science and necromantic magic, has found a way into Amazonia, threatening invasion.
This is the tale of one warrior, Delara clan Perone, a prodigious athlete, yet untested in real battle, as she and her Amazon sisters prepare to strike these invaders down first, before they can set foot in the holy motherland. But Delara will find more than she bargained for in this battle— along with a new, unexpected ally. Together, they will face a stark choice over the very meaning of honor and heroism, a choice that will leave them forever changed.
This is a prequel novella to the HaremLit fantasy series Tales of Shattered Zemyah.
The world is shattered.
Long ago, powerful demonic entities invaded from outside the universe to wage war on the gods. That horrific conflict brought about the Shattering, an apocalyptic cataclysm that ripped the worlds of the Zemyah asunder. With the last remnants of their power, the gods stabilized the remaining shards of Zemyah and bound them together with the astral currents, giant ribbons of cosmic energy glittering in the blackness of space.
Today, the descendents of the Shattering’s survivors sail these astral currents on magical ships, on missions of war, trade, and piracy.
Zain Shamar is one such sailor. An aspiring student of magical crafting—an artificer—Zain sought to trade his labor for passage on a luxury astral liner, known as the Crystania. But the greedy Cydonia Trading Company swindled him, forcing him into a life of involuntary servitude and crushing debt.
But Zain has a plan to escape the Crystania—a plan that goes wrong, sending him on a world-spanning adventure, full of sexy young heiresses, a pair of lusty Amazons, and a powerful magical artifact—a ring containing a gorgeous genie. But the vicious Reaver space pirates, led by a perverted cannibalistic demon known as Chernobog the Vile, want the ring as well, and will stop at nothing to take it off his dead body.
Zain is going to need to use every ounce of his wits and magical knowledge, as well as the skills of his new-found allies, if he is going to have any chance of surviving their wrath.
This is a pulpy, salacious, indulgent, erotic novel in the haremlit genre, and contains a few scenes that may be disturbing to some people. Reader discretion is advised.
Death by Snuu-Snuu!
​
(Well… no, not actual death, but chafing and exhaustion are certain risks here.)
​
Our hero, Zain Shamar, has been abducted by two insatiable Amazon warriors, who have carried him off to their hidden tribe, to be bred nonstop with athletic, fertile women, according to the whims of their lusty, voluptuous Queen.
​
(Well… truthfully it was less an abduction and more a proposal, willingly accepted. And he is going to get some breaks to pace himself. There’s actually a whole ritual with a lot of rules, but let’s just skip over that for now.)
​
Thrill to Zain’s amorous adventures, as his stamina and skills are put to the test—will he be able to satisfy the Amazon tribe and come out alive?
​
(The answer is yes. Yes he will. In fact, this is a slice-of-life interlude novel with a focus on character, world-building, and lots and lots of spicy scenes. The regular balance of action-and-plot to sexytimes will resume with Secret of the Dragon Crown.)
​
This is a short novel, and isn't vital to the overall plot of the series, so I count it as Book 1.5 in the Tales of Shattered Zemyah
Zain Shamar has a problem. His habit of refusing to bow before bullies and standing up for the underdog keeps earning him powerful enemies. The space pirates of the Scourge have orders to kill him and steal the ring he carries, which carries the gorgeous and sensual genie known as Soraya. And a powerful archfae duchess has sent the Dullahan, a relentless undead hunter, to do the same.
​
But Zain only wants to free Soraya from the enchantment that binds her to the ring, and this quest sends them and their Amazon companions to the remote waste-world of Zargedon, where the barren deserts are broken only by bizarre eldritch mountains, spewing forth unearthly poison storms, and strange fae-touched jungles, into which mortals disappear without a trace.
​
Zain immediately runs afoul of raiders riding cobbled-together magitech machines, and cultists of the Worm God, who constantly seek new slaves to feed to their monstrous dreadworms. Add one more group of foes to the host of enemies that already hound him. But he does gain one ally—the beautiful, but standoffish, half-dragon princess Bondi and her kobold retinue, who have their own quest: to recover the legendary Crown of Dragonkind.
​
Will Zain and his crew elude the pirates and the Dullahan that seek their deaths? Will they survive the deadly dungeons where the Dragon Crown lies hidden? Will its power be enough to defeat the host of enemies arrayed against our heroes?
Find out in this exciting installment of The Tales of Shattered Zemyah.
Zain and Bondi have succeeded in their respective quests, deep in the mines of Yohzoc. Armed with the tools and knowledge to defeat the Worm Cult of Krah-Mirogah once and for all, they rejoin their companions and seek to unite with the oppressed Rephaites to free Zargedon and overthrow the tyranny of Mirog.
​
But Zain’s enemies haven’t been idle, either—they’ve joined forces. The Scourge space pirates, the ghastly Dullahan, and the seductive High Priestess of the Worm Cult, Rhatha Tak, have united to crush Zain and his allies with overwhelming force. Before our heroes have a moment to prepare, they find themselves at the mercy of an army of dreadworms—massive, eldritch, man-eating monsters.
​
Zain and his crew will be pushed to the limits of their abilities in order to survive and defeat the hordes of enemies arrayed against them, with the fate of the entire universe hanging in the balance. Don’t miss the thrilling conclusion to this conflict, where the fates of entire nations shall rise and fall—all in this installment of The Tales of Shattered Zemyah.
