The second novella out of five for The Affinities Series, NERO'S DOMINION explores Nero's past and how he gained power in Periculand two years before Adara's arrival. This story can be read before the first full-length installment, BLOOD, but it will make more sense after.>After three years in juvie, Nero should be an instant alpha, but Periculand already has a student leader: Avner Stromer. Suffering numerous public humiliations at Avner's hands ignites Nero's thirst for revenge, but that ambition gains him a few more enemies and, eventually, a few allies.
