The Squad: Rising book 1: Freedom Rings

Freedom rings out. Who will hear it?

Tina the wolf and her adopted animal siblings narrowly escaped childhood enslavement and lead a quiet, secluded life together. But when they find out the usurping Authorities ravage their world of Neftar to capture more slaves, Tina feels that she and her squad are being called to free their fellow Neftarians.

As they plunge into their abolition quest, however, untold dangers arise—from betrayals, to life-threatening peril, to the discovery of Tina’s forbidden heritage.

Can Tina and her siblings fight for freedom, or will they be put to death for their rebellion… and for Tina’s outlawed bloodline?

The Squad: Rising book 2: Underground Depths

A secret war lurks. A new enemy arises.

With a break from abolition and peacekeeping duties, Tina the wolf scours for her mysterious mother. But instead of her mother, she and her siblings encounter a tiger soldier from an underground war. The soldier’s ragtag army struggles to suppress an anarchist, and Tina realizes they have little choice but to help protect freedom.

But when the anarchist proves more cunning than the young peacekeepers are ready for, and opposition arises from those Tina is trying to help, she realizes this may have been a far more dangerous undertaking than she thought.

When it seems no one truly wants peace, and the tiger soldier wants freedom more than victory, can Tina fulfill her duty as peacekeeper and abolitionist, or will she die before she gets the chance?

The Squad: Rising book 3: Realm Beyond

Worlds collide. The innocent are sentenced to death.

Tina the wolf and her adopted siblings hope for a moment’s peace in the Emerald Mountains… but get the exact opposite. An old enemy ambushes them, and in the throes of a struggle, powers merge and suck Tina and her siblings into another realm.

Tina scrambles to lead her siblings through a hostile world to safety, while alien creatures hunt them and plan to kill them. But finding a way home isn’t Tina’s only struggle—their old enemy is stranded in this world, too. 

Will Tina find the courage to help their enemy and discover a way home, or will being called a “dangerous beast” in this new world turn her into one?
