Blurb
A new series which adds a fresh perspective to the frightening, alternative S. M. Lynch universe . . .
Leah was wrenched from everything she knew at a young age and turned into a killer. It became that she didn’t know anything else but the day’s toil of hardening her body and her mind.
Her mentor Caleb was the only person she saw and she couldn’t escape him. We only know that at some point they fell in love, but it didn’t quite go according to plan.
The present Leah Feltham is now the toughest assassin in London, a woman in her thirties working alone, existing for the job, nothing else.
Then, something goes wrong.
War is brewing. She knows it.
And she’s about to find her true love, right before it all kicks off . . .
**This series can be read without any previous reading, but for added context, it’s recommended you read the Ruthless Series after reading the Collective Series**

Author Note
DEAR READER,
My advice to you if you’re reading my work for the very first time is to read this series AFTER reading the Collective Series.
However, you can also read Ruthless without any previous reading, being that it is a story that can stand alone and makes sense within itself. Leah is the narrator, taking you on her journey, and you can follow her adventure without any previous reading whatsoever.
My point is however, all of the novels in the S. M. Lynch universe are interconnected. Therefore, they are designed to be read in chronological order… or you get some spoilers. Chronologically, you should begin with the Collective Series, then read the Ruthless Series, UNITY and then, finally, New Unity. While Ruthless could be read as a sort of prequel to the Collective in terms of ideas/timeline, it does contain spoilers for the Collective Series which is why I advise to go this way. But anyway… it is up to you! I am one of those strange people who started with The Two Towers and still ended up enjoying the entire LOTR Trilogy. So sue me!
Now, a word of warning about books in this universe:
Firstly, don’t assume anything (and I mean anything) is what it seems.
Secondly, there are elements in these books BEYOND the thriller genre. I dare to venture into sci-fi, mind-bending plots… and well, more besides.
That’s it! No more advice! Just enjoy the ride.
Love, Sarah x
