Zenkova is a city on the edge—its rulers slain, its people hunted, and its secrets buried deep.

Fresh from the chaos in Kargosk, Alex Khan and his growing circle of powerful companions ride east toward Zenkova—only to find a city drowning in fear. The King and Queen are dead. The princesses are missing. Assassins walk the streets by night.

Zura’s mentor has gone missing and the White Witch fears she has been murdered. Alex and his team search for clues while in the shadows, someone is pulling the strings of chaos.

Alex has no interest in politics, but when an imprisoned princess with a deadly secret begs for his help, he’s drawn into a dangerous game of power, seduction, and shadow. Nina is a Serpent Shifter, hunted by those who would use her or destroy her.

With danger closing in, Alex must choose who to trust, who to protect… and how far he’ll go to survive.

Action-packed, seductive, and full of twists, Shifter is a high-stakes fantasy adventure where every ally is a risk—and every secret comes with a cost.

Not Bad, Needs Editing

The story and characters are engaging if a bit simple, would likely be 4 stars, but the editing needs improvement. Misspellings or typos here and there weren’t a big deal, but some things were repeated, like the conversation between the Orc wife and livestock seller that seemed like the author wrote two conversations trying to decide which to use and seemed to have left both.

Meh, the MC has turned into a Gary Stu (male Mary Sue character). He is overly good. He saves people and is offered a reward and he refuses multiple times. He is supposed to be just a caravan guard but he follows the white witch to investigate her masters murder. Why? Because he slept with her a couple of times. The story is pretty simple in this one. The plot is also laughably simple. Overall it was just okay. Gave it a little more than 3 stars because I am going to read the next book.

A wonderful story with interesting and intelligent characters.

Love the storyline and the characters. Not just the ladies in the MC's harem, but also his guy friends the Orc and the foxkin. The machinations of the hidden advesaries to the valley are interesting, though we the readers have little info on them yet. Even the intimate scenes are interesting and relational rather than an excuse to do lit-porn. I look forward to reading more of the author's work, though there are no more titles currently available.

Entertaining Read

Alex can supercharge women with power. When he touches a woman he can feel her power as well as sexual tension. He and his crew go to the next city to investigate the possible death of Zura’s senior sister. They find the city in turmoil and have to fight heroic battles to try to put things right. I like the action, humor, intrigue, and romance. I look forward to the next book.

Well developed and executed story

The characters are immensely fun and show so much potential. The plot has thickened and taken several twists that easily keep the readers attention. Looking forward to Book 4.
