The Cartel: The Apprentice, Volume 1 (The Twelve Systems Chronicles): A #ScienceFiction #Dystopian Novel by EG Manetti


Where duty and passion collide
~A woman in peril. A powerful man with a hidden agenda.~

Raised to wealth and power, Lilian is left destitute and in peril of her life when her father was executed for foul crimes. Determined to survive and protect what remains of her family, Lilian becomes the apprentice of a powerful warrior. For three years, he will train her for a position in the Cartels. In return, Lilian will yield him absolute control of her mind and body.

Lucius Mercio is the preeminent warrior of his cartouche, and the cartel it dominates; the Serengeti Group. Ruthless, clever and ambitious, Lucius' wealth, influence, and power are exceeded by few within the Twelve Systems. It is not sufficient. Lucius intends to take his Cartel to unimaginable heights with the aid of Lilian's brilliance. He faces only one obstacle. Lucius must keep Lilian alive.

Publishers Note: This book contains explicit sexual content and is intended for adult audiences. A stand alone novel in series, it does not contain cliffhangers. It also does not have a 'Happily Ever After' ending - more of a 'Happily For Now.'

About the Author


EG has always enjoyed a vivid imagination and the occasional scribbling. In 2010 she was struck by the inspiration for The Apprentice Volume 1. The draft of a single novel soon became three, and then more. The Cartel: The Apprentice Volume 1 was published in December 2012, followed by Bright Star in 2014 and Transgressions in January 2016. The fourth volume, Fortuna, is scheduled for 2017.

EG works as an IT consultant and writes as often as possible. When neither goes well, she cooks exceptionally and gardens adequately. EG resides on the East Coast of the USA with her beloved (and often confounded) husband and their severely OCD Jack Russell Terrier.
