Reckoning
A narrow escape from the love of Ayla’s past, Ragnar, leaves her and her crew in hiding, and desperate for answers. The prison that Ragnar built for Ayla isn’t a physical one, it's inside her head, and if she doesn’t get rid of it she’s going to die. But when the solution lies behind Ragnar’s armada, on a distant water planet, there’s only one chance of getting there; trusting Leith’s ex, Rawiya.
The beautiful and clever diplomat betrayed Leith once before, but if Ayla is going to slip under Ragnar’s armada, she’ll need to help Rawiya overthrow a tyrant.
Leith’s homeworld Gallus is under the yoke of the Skarlatos leader, Torin. When Torin demands water resources from Aquacore, the company Ragnar uses to control the galaxy, Rawiya will do anything to make peace. Even trust Leith again.
But Ayla doesn’t. She’ll keep her secrets, as will Leith, Kabe, Casey, and Sylas, but playing a game of politics may end up leading to a war they can’t fight.
Stuck between Torin’s lust for power, and Ragnar’s forces flying overhead, Ayla’s fast running out of options that will keep them all alive if they stay, but if they run away then she’ll die.

Queen of Spades: Reckoning is the much-needed conclusion to the Queen of Spades trilogy, and is the perfect ending for fans of the series! Really, if you’ve read the first two, you can’t not read this. It's possibly the best of the series.
In Reckoning, many threads that wove throughout the rest of the series were tied off beautifully. Reckoning explores the background and machinations of the criminal network Skarlatos, embodied through the formidably flawless diplomat Rawiya, as well as heart-throb Leith’s involvement with her and Skarlatos’ betrayal of him.
Ayla’s plotline also came full circle, with the familiar, hated face of Ragnar returning, and the vast resource network and technologies that Aquacore employ were tackled head on.
Reckoning has all the usual immersive action and raunchy romance that fans of the series will have come to expect, but with increasingly more intrigue! Although spoilers are omitted here, sometimes things really do turn out for the best.
