Linda Conlon

When your life is a lie, the truth is in your choices. Hawke makes contact with Kegan Frederickson and they forge a plan to return Synjan to her homeworld. Hawke has to continue his charade as 'Aron' and travel with Synjan and Daeson a little longer. The next world is a dystopian relic, suffering the aftermath of a bioweapon called the Ark. Within a city slowly being overtaken by nature, the three Wanderers rescue a woman, Leiara. She quickly befriends Daeson, and soon her presence adds a layer of mistrust, paranoia and jealousy. Is she what she claims to be, a Wanderer like them? If so, then she only wants the safety they can provide. But if she's something else entirely, what could she be after? As the small group heads towards the portal that will be their escape from the ruined world, Hawke has to decide how best to betray Synjan... and if he even wants to.

Heroes sacrifice themselves. Villains sacrifice others. Can one man live to be both? Daeson awakens in a mangled car wreck with a dying woman. Forced to deal with the consequences of Synjan's actions, Daeson's resentment grows and their relationship fractures. No longer supported by her companion and friend, Synjan invites a dangerous foe to join them--the Hunter himself. When Hawke catches up, he struggles with risking everything to do what's right or continuing to do what's right for him. As allies and enemies conspire on different worlds, Synjan, Daeson and Hawke head into a desolate landscape of sand, violence and treachery.'Husk' is the fifth book in Linda Conlon and Delia Strange's Wanderer of Worlds, a gritty contemporary fantasy.

As the race to secure Synjan and Daeson continues, Ellis and Fyfe are waylaid by a psychotic despot and Hawke awakens in a prison cell. Drugged and interrogated, Hawke's only defence is the Wanderer talent he despises. His mission to reach Synjan is at stake... and so is his life. Arriving in Femme, Daeson and Synjan find themselves at the mercy of an advanced civilisation that reveres Healers and oppresses men. Greeted by Intuits who can pluck secrets from their minds, their whirlwind journey through a technologically advanced world will test their resolve, their resources, and their friendship.
