Octavia

by Melody Calder

100 years ago, the people of Altair rose up against tyranny, destroying the city. Now divided into the old and new, there's a threat of a new wave of uprising.

Octavia, born into the elite, forced to enter into a program to train an army of emotionless assassins for the Supreme Leader. Failing, she's given a chance to regain her position. Sent to uncover the uprisers, she uncovers secrets about herself and the leader she serves, upending her future.

Octavia doesn't choose only one man.

About the author

January 2024 update: Melody is no longer publishing. Thank you for all of the support over the years.


Melody Calder is a multi-trope romance author with an addiction to chocolate, dill pickles, books, and swearing; not necessarily in that order. Her mind is always full of interesting characters and plot twists. She not so secretly loves cliffhangers and endings that are not the norm.

She hopes to survive the teenage years of her twins, which is worse than the terrible twos, and her puppy who lives up to his name - Dragon. Her hobbies include collecting elephant figurines, painting, and annoying her husband by forgetting to switch the laundry. Her family and friends will tell you that she needs reminders for everything, but they love her anyway.
