Book 1

Spider's Kiss

by Jesse Sprague

Published 11 December 2019

They exterminated her species…

… that was their first mistake.

The second was keeping the Spider Queen alive.

As the last female of her kind, Silvia knows that her freedom could bring the resurgence of her race. Her captivity ensures extinction. To her the answer is clear.

Freedom at any cost.

Loose in the universe, her kiss will spread genetic contamination—altering her victims into her spider brethren. Humanity's best interests are served if that never happens. The police chief of the backward planet she’s trapped on might prove to be a barrier the Spider Queen cannot overcome.

Survival is the goal, but not everyone can triumph in this game of mortality, madness, and lust.

You’ll love this grimdark science fiction because it’s a wild ride through dark genre-bending territory.


Book 2

Spider's Gambit

by Jesse Sprague

Published 19 August 2020

Checkmate equals death...

… and those are stakes she accepts!

As one of the last survivors of a race of shape-shifting spiders, her will to survive and her lust for revenge both point to the same strategy—exterminate her enemies before they find her.

For the Spider Queen, friends are hard to come by, and her one-time victim Count Darith may be her only hope.

Darith Cortanis lost almost everything when he became entangled in Silvia's scheming. Now, his former enemy could help him win back what he prizes most: his wife. Held captive by the Brothel and her own mind, she is worth any sacrifice.

Although their paths run together…

… loyalty among adversaries can be fleeting. Their final gambit pulls friends and enemies alike onto the board. The pieces are moving, but will the Queen be left standing?

In a game of strategy, it pays to think about the long run.

You’ll love this grimdark science fiction because it’s a playful romp through dark forbidden territory.
