Canis Alpha
In a future plagued by natural disasters, a sky pirate makes a choice that will change everything...
It’s 2075, and criminals known as “scavs” raid disaster-damaged cities. Their most important rule: don’t help the survivors.
Bear, a twenty-nine-year-old engineer, breaks that rule when he takes Salix, a Native American college student, back to his scav team’s flying ship for medical treatment. Captain Baxter allows her to board but will not let her leave.
Salix hopes to escape, but Baxter’s growing obsession with her makes that impossible. As the situation grows tense, a tsunami in Portugal prompts a scav raid. During that raid, Bear discovers blueprints for a device that could change the world. When it becomes clear that Salix’s life is in danger, Bear flees with her, along with the blueprints, but Baxter follows, and he is more dangerous than either of them realize.

W.K. Greyling
W.K. Greyling writes stories that feel like they’ve drifted in from an older world, the kind of tales where forests hold their breath and forgotten songs linger in the air. Living in Nova Scotia, she draws inspiration from landscapes steeped in mist and sea-light, as well as from the medieval and Renaissance music she curates for Ancient FM. That music becomes part of her writing ritual, shaping the rhythm and cadence of her prose.
Her first fantasy duology, The Aure series (Beneath the Roots and White Bird), introduced readers to a realm threaded with winged peoples, cursed woods, and the kind of quiet magic that unsettles as much as it enchants. Influenced by writers like William Morris, Patricia A. McKillip, and Robin Hobb, Greyling leans toward lyrical fantasy that favors atmosphere, character growth, and emotional resonance over spectacle.
