Resonance

Resonance is a process caused by the khui. Resonance occurs when two compatable people, at least one of which has a khui, meet. The khuis decide that the two individuals would make vaible off-spring. This causes the khuis two vibrate within the chest of their hosts. This is often called a song. Resonance continues until an offspring is created, though the vibration can continue to a lesser degree once resonance is over. Unless an new khui is found individuals only resonnate with one person in their lives, though the event itself can often happen more than once, resulting in multiple children. Most resonance mates say together long term.

With the help of healer, who also has a khui, it is possible to turn off resonance. This was only recently discovered and has only been done to T'chai, who was seriously ill at the time. Gren and Willa also needed the help of a healer to successfully fulfill resonance. It is possible his khui was unable to detect the DNA enhancement that negatively affected his fertility, so he resonated despite not actually being able to produce viable off-spring on his own.

Biologically, during resonance, the khui causes increased libido and fertility including ovulation, and sperm production, the latter of which only happens during resonance. This makes it impossible for a male with a khui to sire off-spring outside of resonance.

Barbarian's Beloved

Barbarian's Beloved is the sixteenth book in the Ice Planet Barbarians series. Ariana and Zolaya are the main characters.

Some of the events during the flashback contradict information given in earlier novels, mainly how Stacy and Pashov resonate and when the girls download the sa-khui language, which originally seemed to be more spread out over time.

The present day events likely take place during the very last portion of Willa's Beast, setting it around the middle of section of Angie's Gladiator.

## Synopsis

"My tribesmates don’t understand her. The other humans think she’s weak. But no one knows my mate like I do. They don’t see her gentle heart or her brave spirit. I know why she struggles. I know how strong she is. And I know I’ll do anything to make her smile.

But can I convince her that she can be happy in this strange new world with me?"

## Plot

### Flashbacks

Ariana has awoken on Not-Hoth terrified. She is without any medication, her anxiety is going crazy and she is pretty sure she is going to die. And not long after she realizes that she had just resonated to Zolaya.

Zolaya is overjoyed at resonating, but realizes his new mate his going to need time. Unlike the other two newly mated couples, they don't run off to be alone. They head to the Elders' Cave with the others, so the humans can download the sa-khui language.

Ariana is freaking out at the idea. Zolaya takes her aside and she explains about her anxiety, using an avalanche as a metaphor. They head back and she gets the language.

When she awakens, she meets and befriends Marlene. Who tells her that the girls that resonated first will have a special connection.

Zolaya and Ariana head to a private room that night. A few days later, after Ariana worried about Zolaya getting hurt while hunting, they go out together. That night, Pashov and Stacy return and they make plans to travel to the tribal caves the next day. They arrive the following day and Zolaya and Ariana fulfill resonance.

### Present Day

The hunters have been at the Icehome Village for over a month, and Ariana isn't handling Zolaya being gone that long well. She is struggling with her anxiety and her second child is due by the next month. She looks towards Marlene for support, and also realizes that her son, Analay, may have prophetic dreams.

Zolaya knows his mate is struggling without him. When he learns it will be a week before Ashtar and Veronica make another trip back to Croatoan, he decides he will head back on foot. Ereven goes with him. It takes longer then expected when a snowstorm hits. But he makes it back for the birth of his second child, Zoari.
Paul Bruno

Photo of Paul Bruno, c. 2012

Paul Bruno is an American criminal and a soldier of the Russetto crime family.

Paul Bruno is the uncle of Vito Russo, an associate of the Torelli crime family. Bruno is also the cousin of Tony Fonte.

## History

Paul Bruno was born in Manhattan in 1957, and spent most of his childhood in Brooklyn, before moving upstate to Poughkeepsie as a teenager.

Bruno's first criminal offense was assault, when he was 16, at a liquor store in Poughkeepsie.

When he was 19, he moved to Albany and lived with his uncle Jimmy Barbara, who was a caporegime in the Russetto crime family.

Bruno began his career with the Russettos in the late-1970s, and was supposedly "made" in 1985, a few months after the murder of Jeffrey Liman. Authorities suspect Bruno as the perpetrator.

Bruno was supposedly responsible for several drug trafficking operations in the late-1980s and early-1990s. In 1994, he was indicted and found guilty of several crimes including assault with a deadly weapon, and served 7 years in FCI Cumberland, Maryland.

Bruno's criminal record has been shadowy since the early 2000s, but many believe him to be a high-ranking soldier in the Russetto crime family.

### Willa's Beast

Gren woke up on Not-Hoth certain he was still enslaved. He didn't trust the others or their promises of freedom.

Willa wanted to help Gren escape from his binds and left with him. She knocked out Pashov in the process. She wasn't interested in staying with people that would keep Gren tied up. Gren was surprised but leaves with her. They escaped into the wilderness, living out there a few days. When Willa was attacked by a group of snow cats, Gren protected her becoming wounded in the process. They made their way to a hunter's cave so he can recover. They were discovered by the others, but refused their help.

Gren was not recovering from his wounds and was dying. Veronica, a healer, arrived and healed him. A day later Gren and Willa resonated. They stay in the cave for over two weeks, still unable to fulfill resonance. After a number of days Mardok arrived and gave them translator chips. Eventually Brooke and Taushen arrived.

Jutari is the older brother of Kivian (The Corsair's Captive). He was raised a corsair by his father, a privateer. His father got them both chips made of undetectable metal allowing them to use it to help one another. They have been told when the one brother calls for help the other brother has to come and help no matter what.

He started as a corsair and then joined the war (likely the Threshian war). After the war, he became a mercenary. During this time he added to his chip all the information and money he would need to start his life over. He kept it inside of his cheek.

Not long after he became an assassin. He only took jobs to kill those people he says are bad. Eventually, he turned down a job. For this, he was hunted, though he killed those hunting him and sold their ship for cash.

Though he returned to piracy, he fell into a depression after his father died. His ship took damage when he hit an asteroid field. He was caught with a fake ID when he when in for repairs. This eventually leads to his capture.

Prior to Prison Planet Barbarian, he spent a year in Haven prison. He was worked on the harvesting machines there until he was moved into maximum after he killed three other prisoners in a riot.

Jutari knew Chloe was his mate as soon as he saw her in Haven. Now he just had to plan their escape.

When Chloe turned down Noku's offer of protection for sex, she got tossed in with Jutari and the other most dangerous criminals for punishment. Jutari protected her from the others and started working with another prisoner, Dremmigan to plan their escape. When Jutari's display of ownership over Chloe upsets Noku, a guard who set his eyes on her, they all get sent out into the fields to work.

Their plan goes into action and the three of them escape. However, once Jutari had sent out the beacon for a pick up to his brother Kivian, Dremmigan tried to kill him and Chloe. They managed to kill him instead and are picked up by Kivian.

Two years later the couple are living happily on the farming world Risda III and Chloe is pregnant.

### Later History

During *The Corsair's Captive*, Kivian and Fran come to visit the couple.

Sometime later Kivita is born.

In *When She's Ready*, Jutari helps arrange the marriage of convenience between Leilani and Tassar.
A Guide and Tips for Contribution

Here is general guide for editing and contributing to the wiki. This is not a policy list, just some helpful points.

1. Spelling and grammar edits are always welcome.
2. When writing summaries and character histories keep things more general, less specific and not too long. These sections are meant to cover key plot points. (For example - Ashtar visiting couples is common in the newer books, and unless his visit is important to events later, his visit can be left out). We aren't trying to replace reading the book. The function of these articles are meant as a refresher for the book/character or a general review of important events if reader decides to skip a given book for whatever reason. Feel to be hyper specific in other sections though, like what Mesakkah like to eat, for example.
3. If a name or word has an article attached, hyperlink back to that article the first time it appears in text.
4. If you are creating a new page, look to a similar page to figure out the format style for that type of article.
5. Feel free to add links between characters, update charts and other things that better connect the articles and keep information up to date. Ruby writes like a mad woman.
6. If you feel passionately about something that doesn't exist on the wiki (like pages for pets, certain alien races, or planets), go ahead and create it! This includes the Fireblood series, which I have no plans to work on myself. However, If there is a contributor who would like to spearhead that project, message me and we can chat about getting it into the wiki.
7. In an attempt to keep the info boxes of some of the character from becoming extremely long and needing to be constantly updated, there are some guidelines to how they should be handled. Please leave off any cousins within the hybrid generations (meaning children of humans/aliens) as well as nieces, nephews, mates of in-laws and grandchildren. If anyone knows how/wants to learn how to format family trees within the articles (which would be awesome!) putting cousins, niece and nephew etc there would be fantastic.

I so appreciate anyone who helps and contributes to the wiki. I hope this will help making contributing easier. and maybe less intimidating, in the future! If you have any thoughts on these points message me and we can chat!

Josie doesn't feel like the sexiest of women. She's got two kits already and a third on the way. So she's more than a little worried after her son parrots back his father’s words implying some upsetting things: That perhaps her mate no longer finds her attractive; that resonance is a chore he does because he has no choice; that he wished they had fewer children. She is desperate to win back his affection and when she hears about Maddie's Valentine's Day plans, she decides to join in. Later that night, she speaks with Haeden, calming her fears, but decides to go through with the Valentine’s plans after all.

A few days later, Hassen and Cashol return home. Summer and Warrek take both Maddie and Josie's kits. Both couples have their Valentine's Day.

Earth

Earth is a small planet with a single moon and sun in the Milky Way. Humans are native to this planet. It is classified as Sol III. It is considered a class D culture, too primitive for interactions with space fairing cultures. Going there, is therefore illegal, as is owning a human. Though Earth was off limits, many humans over the centuries were stolen by slavers from their planet and sold to the highest bidder.

## Modern History

In the year 2016, there was a tear in the-space time continuum. It tore a hole in the fabric of space and, destroying every ship near Earth's solar system, never to be seen again. When alien scouting vessels were sent out, it was discovered there was an unstable rift in Earth's atmosphere and all of human civilization seemed to have vanished.

When the rift opened, a race of shapeshifting, telepathic aliens called the Drakoni poured out of the rift. The Drakoni have a dragon form, which they call their "battle form", which is used for battle and for mating rituals (to fight a female dragon they wish to mate with). When the Drakoni appeared, they were driven to madness which made it impossible for them to return to their humanoid forms. This sent the dragons into a violent frenzy, destroying everything and everyone in their paths. Their scales are impervious, meaning that guns had no effect on them, and missiles and planes were too slow to do any damage, meaning humans were left defenseless. Within a matter of months, humankind was brought to the brink of near-extinction and human civilization was wiped out almost entirely

Over the next seven years, the remaining small groups of surviving humans formed concrete forts to keep the dragons out and to live securely. The forts themselves are isolated and corrupt, run by power-hungry militias. It was common for people to freely give up their rights in exchange for protection for their families. Anyone unwilling to obey fort rules are cast out of the forts to the dragons and the dangerous human gangs or nomads. Those outcasts are considered scum by the fort-dwellers.

In the year 2023, the rift was finally closed by the telepathic abilities of the human/Drakoni children, led by Azar. The closing of the rift cured the Drakoni of their madness, but it also shut off their telepathic abilities forever. With the rift gone and the Drakoni returned to sanity, the Earth is beginning to recover from the aftermath and the humans of Earth have begun to build a new world alongside the Drakoni.

Barbarian's Taming

Barbarian's Taming is the eighth book of the Ice Planet Barbarian series. Maddie and Hassen are the main characters.

It is available as an audiobook.

## Synopsis

"As a newcomer to the alien tribe, I've struggled to find my place. It might be because I'm a tad headstrong at times. And yes, I might have thrown a few things at people's heads. But I had a good reason to pitch a fit - my shy sister was stolen away right under my nose. Of course, now she's back and mated. Everyone's happy...except me.

I need...affection.

Attention.

Okay, I'm lonely. Really lonely.

Strangely enough, the only person that I think understands what I'm going through is the same blue-skinned brute that stole my sister. It's wrong to hook up with him, even as a mindless fling.

Except...I'm not so good with the whole 'rules' thing.

And he's not so great with the 'fling' thing."

## Plot

Maddie is feeling lost and isolated without her sister needing her help. She feels like no one can understand her but Hassen, the temporarily exiled hunter that stole her sister.

Maddie seeks out his company and he agrees to teach her to hunt. However, they quickly develop a physical relationship and Hassen wants to claim her as his mate. Maddie would prefer something more casual.

A week or so after they begin hunting together, an earthquake rocks the planet, coming from a volcanic eruption. The tribal caves are destroyed and the tribe is left homeless. Eklan, Warrek's father, is killed and Pashov injures his head, losing his memory. Maddie realizes that she has come to care deeply about Hassen when he returns to rescue Pashov.

Hassen and Maddie are sent to the farthest hunter caves and caches to find resources to help the tribe survive the quickly approaching brutal season. They continue to bond over the trip. When metlaks attack, the both of them walk over ice weakened by the quake. They fall into a huge crevasse. As they walk, they resonate. Eventually, they discover the Croatoan ruins.

Excited by the possibilities of their find, they make their way back to the tribe. Once there Maddie insists they end Hassen's exile before agreeing to lead them back to the Croatoan ruins.
