Note to Readers: This book contains detailed descriptions of sizzling passion only suitable for mature readers. From Cyndi: "Battle Born" is a spinoff of my "Shadow Assassins" series. However, it's not necessary to have read the earlier books to enjoy these new stories. All of my books are cross-genre romances. They blend elements of science-fiction, fantasy, and paranormal romance. The "Battle Born" books will lean a bit more toward sci-fi, but there will still be plenty of steamy romance. Enjoy! Contributor Bio:  Friberg, Cyndi Anything-but-Ordinary is a creed I try to reflect in my writing. Though all of my books have a paranormal twist, the main focus remains love, loyalty and the struggle for redemption. My writing has won numerous awards and appeared on several best seller lists. I live in Colorado with my high school sweetheart turned husband of many years. With a pampered cat curled on the corner of my desk, I dream of faraway worlds and larger than life adventures-and wouldn't have it any other way!
