"I'd rather be a savage with you...than be civilized on my own."
Jameson Briggs grew up in a savage world.
A survivor of the pandemic. An orphan at twelve. A brilliant poet, bullied for his words. A cutthroat pirate, ruthlessly hunted.
But when a disastrous shipwreck leaves him stranded in a foreign city, Jameson finds himself starting over in a world that is savage in a whole new way. Political maneuvering. Deception. Wealth. Beautiful women.
Beautiful,
dangerous
women.
Like Zahara and Petra - daughters of the city's most powerful CEO and heirs to a tech fortune. As Jameson grows closer to their family, his world spirals and he is drawn into a tangled web of lies and corruption. Jameson must decide: will he rise above it?
Or will he become a savage?

- Fish-out-of-water
- Found family
- Badass women
- Morally grey men
- Love triangle

- Dystopian world

- Fast-paced, high-stakes adventure
- More snarky banter than you ever thought possible.
TRIGGER WARNING: This book contains cheating. This guy is a villain. He is morally gray (and it is a pretty dark shade of gray.)
This is a standalone origin story for the villain in the Thalassic Series. You DO NOT need to read the other books before you read it! In fact, this makes a nice entry point to the series.
