About this listen
A savvy businessman. A reckless mercenary. And a flame that never faded.
Tiberon Winterskies doesn’t believe in fate. The shrewd orc businessman prides himself on smart deals, careful planning, and never offering up his heart to be trampled again. So Tiberon’s ready to run when his old flame Dredge turns up with a dangerous proposal.
Dredge doesn’t believe in regret. After growing up among the Winterskies orcs like so many other war orphans, the human mercenary struck out to find himself–and found himself trapped in a dangerous cycle of vengeance and bloodshed. But Dredge grudgingly accepts his newest mercenary assignment–guarding Tiberon on a deadly quest.
Now Dredge and Tiberon are hunting for a rare artifact to appease Dredge’s fearsome mercenary boss, outrunning mysterious spies and assailants at every turn. Will they be able to mend old wounds as they give in to old passions? Or will uncovering their quest’s true purpose tear them apart once more?
Ballads and Battleaxes is the thrilling third standalone book in the Starlight Sanctum cozy fantasy LGBTQ romance series. If you like daring adventures, second chances, and a powerful M/M romance with a generous helping of heat, then you’ll love Vera Winters’s captivating adventure.

Story
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.

Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.
