The Shepherd is My Lord

Dimitri V. Gat

The Shepherd is my Lord is a complex intersellar Dystopia in which a giant corporation, Galactic Enterprises, oppresses humans and Aliens alike over a vast compass; its attempts to claim-jump a hidden sector of space hiding an advanced race (the Shepherds) end, however, in failure.

The Shepherd Moon

Helen Mary Hoover

Meredith Ambrose was nicknamed "Merry" by her parents when she was a baby, but now that she can express her own opinions, they find her "boring". While visiting the family estate, she witnesses the crash landing of a strange boy (Mikel Goodman) who comes from the space habitat that Earth now calls the Shepherd Moon. Although those around her do not seem to recognize the danger that Mikel represents with his astounding abilities, she is able to convince her grandfather, the powerful General Ambrose, that Mikel is indeed a threat. In the 48th century, Earth has all but forgotten that the miniature "moons" that accompany Luna were the cause of the collapse of Earth's high-tech civilization and are still inhabited.

The Shepherd Kings

Epona: Book 2

Judith Tarr

For a long, brutal century, the Kingdom of Lower Egypt has been occupied by the "Vile Asiatics," the conquerors called the Shepherd Kings. With their horses and chariots they overwhelmed the armies of Egypt and swept over the Delta and the sacred cities.

Iry, daughter of an old noble house, the Sun Ascendant, has been enslaved by the bearded conquerors. But her new master is born of a different blood, son of the priestess of an ancient rite, the cult of the Horse Goddess and her avatar, the White Mare. The Mare's priestess-servant is dead--and the Mare chooses Iry, the child of a land without horses, to be her successor.

Meanwhile, in the wider world, the Pharaoh of Upper Egypt is arming to take back the lost kingdom. He forms such an alliance as his ancient land has never seen before, with the seafarers of Crete and the White Mare's servant, and rides to war against the Shepherd Kings.

She Who Watches

The Shepherd: Book 1

Anthony Pryor

A madman's disturbing question, a string of savage murders, the legacy of an ancient goddess and an evil being seeking to return to our world -- all are pieces of a puzzle that investigative reporter Alex St. John must solve to thwart the plans of a murderous cult and its demonic god.

"Are You the Shepherd?"

Working for a crummy Portland newspaper, Alex St. John thought his life was at a dead-end. But when a madman's nonsensical question sends him in pursuit of a serial killer, Alex finds himself in a nightmare world of violence and occult mysteries. With the help of eccentric writer Damien Smith, he discovers the murders are the work of a modern-day cult seeking to resurrect ancient evil--the demon-god known to Native Americans as Onatochee.

Joined by a motley crew of allies -- Irish researcher Michael O'Regan, beautiful occult enthusiast Trish Martin, fellow journalist Loren Hodges and her loyal dog Beowulf -- Alex and Damien delve deeper into the mysteries surrounding the cult and its evil deity.

With the growing realization that everything he thought he knows about the cosmos is wrong, Alex faces death, betrayal and a growing army of possessed killers. Only by discovering the hidden secrets of the past and accepting a mystical weapon from the hand of an enigmatic goddess can Alex hope to stop the return of the demon-god Onatochee.

One Dark Window

The Shepherd King: Book 1

Rachel Gillig

Elspeth needs a monster. The monster might be her.

Elspeth Spindle needs more than luck to stay safe in the eerie, mist-locked kingdom she calls home--she needs a monster. She calls him the Nightmare, an ancient, mercurial spirit trapped in her head. He protects her. He keeps her secrets.

But nothing comes for free, especially magic.

When Elspeth meets a mysterious highwayman on the forest road, her life takes a drastic turn. Thrust into a world of shadow and deception, she joins a dangerous quest to cure the kingdom of the dark magic infecting it. Except the highwayman just so happens to be the King's own nephew, Captain of the Destriers... and guilty of high treason.

He and Elspeth have until Solstice to gather twelve Providence Cards--the keys to the cure. But as the stakes heighten and their undeniable attraction intensifies, Elspeth is forced to face her darkest secret yet: the Nightmare is slowly, darkly, taking over her mind. And she might not be able to stop him.

Two Twisted Crowns

The Shepherd King: Book 2

Rachel Gillig

Gripped by a tyrant king and in the thrall of dark magic, the kingdom is in peril. Elspeth and Ravyn have gathered most of the twelve Providence Cards, but the last - and most important - one remains to be found: the Twin Alders. If they're going to find the card before Solstice and set free the kingdom, they will need to journey through the dangerous mist-cloaked forest. The only one who can lead them through is the monster that shares Elspeth's head: the Nightmare.

And he's not eager to share any longer.
