The fates of two nations hang on the balance on a man's choice between love and an arcane bond. Philip has been spearheading a rebellion in his country, with Casey, his lover and partner, at his side. The rebellion has snowballed into a civil war and casualties on both sides are mounting. In a desperate attempt for peace, Philip decides to approach Raylan, the second in command of the other side. He has learned that Raylan is not as stubborn as his mentor and that he may be open to negotiations. The last thing Philip expects is for a soul mate bond to spring to life between him and Raylan, activating an ancient curse that will kill them both if the bond isn't consummated. Philip has never loved anyone but Casey, and Raylan is a total stranger who he has no feelings for. Yet, the delicate negotiations between the two nations will fail without him and Raylan. Philip's life is not his own, after all; it belongs to the people he has pledged his service to. With more than his life at stake, will Philip be able to let go of the love of his life to bring peace to his people? Curse of Souls is dystopian futuristic fantasy.

Exiled by his uncle even if not in name, Yudhishtira is determined to gain allies, something he cannot do when under the eyes of his uncle's and cousins' spies in Varanavata. Faking his death may seem a bit extreme, but he's sure he has no choice if he's to break this stalemate. Yudhishtira is certain that Suyodhana, his hated cousin, will be blamed for his supposed death, so it's a win for him, anyway. Vasushena and Suyodhana are pleased with the news of Yudhishtira's death, but the rumours that Suyodhana is behind it has them seething. When it turns out that Yudhishtira is not dead, and he wins the hand of Draupadi and an alliance with both Panchala and Dwaraka, they know that they have to tread carefully. Suyodhana is even ready to divide the Kingdom to get rid of his cousin. The province of Khandava will do nicely. Because Khandava is a vast jungle inhabited by the Nagas who don't acknowledge Hastinapura's suzerainty. But, Yudhishtira has no choice but to accept its kingship if he's to ever achieve his ambitions. Some may baulk at genocide, but Yudhishtira has never baulked at anything that needed to be done. If that's what it takes to win Khandava for himself, he's ready to exterminate the Nagas. The third book of the Jaya! Series continues the conflicts, trials and tribulations of the Kurus and their friends, allies and enemies.
