Dominions Series

There is a way to enter the Dome. The route is hidden, heavily guarded, and is not for those without inner strength and deep pockets. Karon is a gatekeeper, watching over the final stretch of this route. Most days, there is nothing to do. Most days, he doesn't see another soul once once he's in the tunnels. But some days are different. Sometimes, a walker comes to Karon's gate. Sometimes, they pass through into the Dome. And sometimes they come back. Gatekeeper is a short story prologue to the dark Dystopian series Dominions.

There are reasons to kill. Those who threaten the courier, or threaten Rodin himself — well, they know what to expect. And his one professional hit? The man deserved to die. The world's better off without him. But Rodin needs to build his reputation. And that means showing what he's capable of. He can kill to exterminate vermin. He can kill to stay alive. But can he kill for personal gain? This 25,000 word novella (roughly 100 pages) contains characters from the Dominions series, but can be read as a separate story.

In a violent world, can the meek ever survive? Ostar knows he's nothing special. But he's useful to the crew — not with the violence, but as a look-out. He's never hurt anyone in his life. He simply wants to keep his head down and live without conflict. But the crew are dying. Someone is killing them, one by one. And it is only a matter of time before they come for Ostar. Aminus is a short story in the world of Dominions, but can be read as a stand-alone.

A killer for hire from a violent world, a target in a secure perfect society, and secrets obscured by the glass. Rodin knows he is one of the best. An assassin for hire, he always removes the target with cold, clinical precision.  After an attempt on his life, Rodin is offered a contract he cannot refuse. The target is within the perfect society of the Dome. Rodin must pass unnoticed in a place where manners are everything, and where violence is anathema. Nobody must suspect that a professional killer walks amongst them. Especially those protecting the target. But even under the glass, not everything is visible. Even with such transparency secrets remain hidden, and Rodin can trust nobody. Not even himself. Dark Glass is the first book of Dominions, a dark Dystopian series that is violent, intelligent and unexpected.

Rodin's old life is over. But before he can move on, he needs to understand his past. He needs to know how he escaped death in the bunker, and why he threw himself into the chasm. And he needs to know why others still want him dead. After a decade separated from society, Paskia's life is finally back on course. But Correction has not worked, and she is still considered a threat. If Paskia is to survive, she must once again confront the secrets she buried all those years ago. As Rodin and Paskia seek answers, Authority seeks closure. It doesn't like loose ends. Problems must be removed. Permanently.

Who is Rodin? He thought he was a professional killer, paid for his expertise. But now, he no longer needs the money. He only kills to keep the nightmares at bay. He thought he could remain detached. But removing those he knows to be innocent no longer makes sense. Tracking down a target on the whim of a vengeful old man and his conniving son makes him question his own motives. He thought he only existed in the present. But everyone has a past. The nightmares can only be held back for so long. Sooner or later, they must be faced.

The only certainty in life is death. Genna can't let her guard down, even for a moment. Running a district is hard work, and there are always those determined to undermine her. And now she has a fugitive from the Dome to protect, someone who is still seen as a threat to be neutralised. Then there is her old enemy to the east, an enemy who appears to have new, worryingly powerful weapons. Already, the dog is snapping at her heels. Genna knows that is it only a matter of time before he attacks. And if he wins, she could lose everything.

What dark stories hide behind the smiles? Bethal dreams of errants, those mythical travellers who defend the helpless and protect against evil. Even though the stories are for children, and a girl on the cusp of womanhood should have her mind on other things, they loom large in Bethal's mind. Maybe it's because she's never been beyond the community, never experienced life beyond its boundaries But soon, it will be her time to leave. Everyone knows this, yet nobody talks of it. Just as nobody says what happens when girls of Bethal's age leave, or why they are never spoken of again. If ever Bethal needed help, if ever was the moment for an errant to appear, that time is now. A novella in the Dominions series, Errant explores the world beyond the Domes and the districts, and the evil that exists in even the most peaceful of settings.

Rodin might have liberated the Factory, but it's still a prison to him. So an order from Authority is the excuse he's been seeking, an opportunity to escape the meetings and the drudgery, a chance to get outside once more. But he's heading into a war zone, on a mission of deception. Those he travels with might be friends at the moment, but Rodin knows how easily allegiances can change. That's a problem Genna must face, too. Forced underground, her district in the hands of another, she's determined to fight back. But Garrick's always one step ahead, and that can only mean one thing — she's being betrayed by someone close, someone she needs to trust. And behind everything lies the invisible, powerful Authority, working toward their own ends, playing enemies and allies off each other. How can Rodin and Genna possibly win against Authority? In the sixth book of the Dominions series, loyalties are tested, hope is pushed to breaking point, and nothing can be the same again.

Rodin has the contract under control, drawing the target in, ready for the removal. Not a simple job, but nothing too complicated. But nothing happens in isolation, and Rodin has no idea how this contract will impact others — or himself.   Impact is a series of four connected short stories, set in the dark Dystopian world of Dominions.

He does what needs to be done. He's cheated death a hundred times, and he has the scars to prove it. But Rodin's put all that behind him. He's no longer an assassin for hire, or a pawn in the fight against Authority. At least, that's what he tells himself. But when a favour brings him close to the infamous Factory — a prison in all but name — and a chance encounter forces him to rethink, can he still do what needs to be done? Facing death is one thing, but can Rodin face a life of imprisonment in the Factory? Raged Wolf continues the dark Dystopian Dominions series, as Authority's hold over the Dome and the districts grows ever-stronger.

They might have won the battle, but the war is only just starting. Rodin heads west, into a fractured district, on the verge of collapse unless he can pull disparate forces together, once more putting his life on the line. Cat, to the north, walks a tightrope deep within Authority, where those above him surely know of his betrayal, where he can trust nobody and nothing, where any wrong move may be his last. And behind it all Authority moves, bringing pieces into play, dividing their enemies, preparing for victory.

Can old adversaries become allies? Rodin knows Authority must be stopped, and that means returning to the Dome. But the only one who knows a way in is Cat, the one-time Authority agent who has been manipulating Rodin for years, playing with Rodin's life for his own suspicious ends. To the south of the Dome, Authority relentlessly push Genna back, forcing a retreat into the heart of her district. Soon, she will be surrounded and outgunned. But there's one man who could help – the same man who once betrayed her, who was responsible for the near-destruction of her district, who stood by and watched as she was tortured close to death. With so many lives at stake, can Rodin and Genna do the unthinkable and work with their enemies?

Everything has changed. The Dome is no longer the safe haven its residents believed. The districts are in the hands of the enemy. And Authority is stronger in every way, with more warriors, more resources, and more information. The rebellion continues. While there's life, there's hope, and those rebelling against Authority won't give up. They'll fight to the death. The dark glass will shatter, and the final target will fall.

Rodin, a professional assassin from the lawless and dangerous districts, takes on a contract in the seemingly perfect environment of the Dome. But as memories from his past begin to surface, Rodin finds himself drawn into a battle for control over both the Dome and the districts, where he will be forced to confront not only the ruling Authority but also his own dark history.   Get ready for a dark ride into the Dystopian world of Dominions with all nine novels, three short stories, and two novellas — now available in one complete package.

To confront the future, he must first conquer his past. Rodin, an assassin for hire in the chaos of the districts, is no stranger to death. He has the scars to prove it, each one a lesson, a mistake he won't make again. But some scars hide beneath the surface. When Rodin takes a contract within the perfect society of the Dome, he is forced to confront threats that have lain dormant for over a decade. He might think of himself as a man with no past, but everyone has a history. And if Rodin isn't careful, his past might be the death of him. This collection contains the first three novels (Dark Glass, Dead Flesh and Deep Water) and the short story prologue (Gatekeeper) of the dark Dystopian series Dominions.
