What Becomes Of The Wounded:
The Krycek/Marita Collection
Krycek and Marita, conspirators who want to save the world or damn themselves and each other trying, have a special blend of love and ideology that's such a joy to work with. Their bond is a medley of love and pain, dark yet rich, a beacon of light in the darkness of their world. I love writing them and reading them, and hope that you will too.
