Fractured Rebellion: Book One of the Behtari Series -8.12.26
Arelia was a democracy—until the contamination changed everything.
One hundred fifty-seven years ago, a contaminant spread through the water supply, forever altering the people of Arelia. Those who survived became the Behtari: a superior race marked by golden-flecked eyes and inhuman abilities. Now they rule the New Republic with absolute control.
Luna was raised to serve that system without question. As a government operative, her role is simple: obey, enforce, survive. And she has spent her entire life doing exactly that. But when her birthday celebration ends in tragedy, Luna is driven into the path of the Resistance—and a human woman who challenges everything she thought she understood about the Republic, the Behtari, and herself.
As the truth behind the gamma-wave genetic shift and the Republic's foundations begin to unravel, Luna finds her loyalty pulled in two directions. What would it mean to be truly free? And how much is she willing to risk on the slim chance she might find out?
In a world that relies on obedience, questioning the system is dangerous. But the greatest threat to the New Republic may be the human who makes Luna want more.
Will Luna protect the regime that forged her? Or help destroy it forever?
Renewed Republic: Book Two of the Behtari Series -TBD
After Gamma Island, Luna's loyalties lie in ruins.
Betrayed by the human she cared for and used by the leaders she trusted, Luna can no longer rely on anyone but herself. Stripped of the fragile hope she fought to build, she is dragged deeper into the machinery of the very regime she once vowed against. But as the Resistance spreads across Arelia, chaos follows in its wake.
With the First Citizen presumed dead and the Resistance leader missing, the New Republic's grip begins to fracture, forcing Luna to confront a dangerous truth: loyalty may be far deadlier than betrayal.
Naomi has lost everything.
Stranded on Gamma Island with no way home, she must decide where her loyalties truly lie. Desperate to continue the search for her siblings, Ethan and Ella, Naomi is drawn deeper into the growing horrors hidden beneath the New Republic's polished facade.
As Arelia teeters on the edge of civil war, Luna and Naomi are pulled toward opposite sides of a conflict neither can escape.
But when the war finally reaches its breaking point, what will fall first: the Resistance, the New Republic—or the people they love most?
