All legends begin somewhere.

Blue-skinned Arliss Dubai returns to planet Teton with mechanical enhancements and fury burning in his silver veins after wrongfully serving time in lunar prison. Stepping off the transport into the mile-high megacity Vandress, he faces a world that disregards enhanced humans like him, engineered to save a dying planet. Now, these Blends are lower-class citizens, marked for expulsion by zealots in a post-Collapse society forced to survive indoors.

Twelve-year-old Kip Dubai doesn’t recognize the stranger claiming to be his father. A rare hybrid known as a Patchie who bears the traits of two peoples, Kip found family elsewhere during his father’s imprisonment: In a gang of misfits who steal to survive in the steam-filled hidden spaces of the Servo District.

When Enforcement Q officers ambush Arliss in a dark alley, death seems certain – until mysterious, otherworldly figures intervene, leaving bodies and questions in their wake. These ethereal “friends” suggest cosmic forces are stirring within Vandress’s towering spires, and ancient powers are awakening.

A fractured family stands at the crossroads of revolution. Arliss must reconnect with his son before Vandress tears itself apart, or before whatever lurks in the shadows comes for them all.

If you’re into broken cities, fantastical mysteries, and characters who’ve been screwed over but refuse to stay down, BLEND hits different. The first book in The Rogues of Teton series smashes together gritty sci-fi action with fantastical “wait, did that just happen?” moments.

“A riveting opening series installment that introduces spirited characters and an unforgettable dystopian world.” – Kirkus Reviews
