PAPERBACK
The Horsewomen
The Rise of the Morning Star
A GRIEVING FATHER. A MURDERED DAUGHTER. A LOVER WITH SECRETS. AND A MYTH RISING IN BLOOD.
When a former special operations soldier discovers a classified case file in his partner Felicity’s apartment, memories he buried in war and whiskey roar back to life. But Felicity isn’t just a high-powered attorney—she’s entangled in an ancient, covert war orchestrated by a secret order of women known as the Horsewomen. And they want him back in the game.
Haunted by visions, hunted by assassins, and driven by a rage he can no longer suppress, he’s thrust into a world where power flows through ritual, revenge is currency, and death is only the beginning. As cities burn and old gods whisper through bloodied
dreams, one truth remains: some wars are personal.
And some enemies are divine.
The Horsewomen: The Rise of the Morning Star is a visceral fusion of psychological torment, apocalyptic prophecy, and brutal action—a mythic revenge thriller where grief becomes a weapon, and love can ignite the end of days.
