War Bear of Piston (Bears of Slaughter Mountain) (Bears of Slaughter Mountain #1)

Something terrible has happened to Foster. Ghosts from his Alpha’s past have used him as an unwitting pawn in their game of revenge. He is a werewolf who was forced to dig up something evil that has changed the makeup of who he is. His wolf has been replaced with a titan bear who has little memory of his past, and now Foster and his new shifter animal, Biergon, must go on an adventure to try and figure out where they belong. He can’t go back to Stryker’s Pack, but never in a million years would Foster have guessed he would end up in the wilds of Alaska, right in the middle of a war for power. And the craziest part about it? His new inner bear is the former King, and he has a mate waiting for his return. The bear Clans of Alaska exist in a completely different world than the one he recognizes, and all the rules are different…including the rules regarding mates. The bears in these Clans need to be taught some manners, and as Foster gets to know the fierce and beguiling queen he has been paired with, he begins to think he is exactly the shifter to do it.

A few months ago, Jaydah lost her mate, Biergon. In just a few short days, her mourning period will be finished and she will be promised to another. But when she sees the stranger with Biergon’s eyes on the banks of her river, she knows something horrible has happened. There are legends of shifters switching animals, but she’s never seen one before, and now? Biergon is different. He is kinder, and more protective. His new human side is making her feel like love matches do exist—but if she helps Biergon take his throne back, she will be punished for treason against the bears in her Clan who are fighting to be the new king. Until now, she has had no say in her destiny, but for the first time ever, someone…Foster…is listening to her. And if he can find it in his heart to grant her enough power, together they can change everything for her people.

The Stark’s Mountains universe continues with a brand-new series that pivots directly from T.S. Joyce’s monster-hit Wolves of Piston series of bestsellers to a new, rip-roaring, Alaskan bear shifter adventure in the Bears of Slaughter Mountain series. This can be read as a standalone series, but will sometimes throw a nod to old friends from other books within this growing universe. Let this series take your imagination on the adventure of a lifetime. Full of love and war in the way T. S. Joyce fans have grown to expect, The Bears of Slaughter Mountain will not disappoint.


Content Warning: Explicit love scenes, naughty language, and piles of shifter secrets. This series is mid-war and mid-establishing territory lines. If you aren’t up for wolf fights, this won’t be your jam, but if you’re up for action-adventure love stories with a side of werewolf growly-growly-fight-fights, this one’s for you. Rated '3/5 - Open door' for steam/spice/heat level.
