Summary:“What do you see, Will?” Hannibal asks him, crouching down.
“Young human,” Will says. His nostrils flare as he breathes in. “She smells…sad.”
“Afraid,” Hannibal confirms, his own nose twitching. “Can you hear anything?”
Will holds up a hand, and tilts his head to listen.
“I know it’s late.” That must be the young one. “I’m really sorry, I just need -. I need to adopt one. The biggest and smartest one you have. Please. I can pay in cash, whatever you need. You’re the only guys still open.”

Summary: Hannibal Lecter, founder and visionary behind Lecter Ltd, wakes up twenty years in the future after the betrayal of his business partners. Where artificial intelligence had been a fledgling technology in his own time, the world is fully inundated with it now, to include the full integration of artificial humans, or Artifices, within society. As he navigates this new world with a stranger that seems to know him better than he knows himself, Hannibal is plagued by one driving thought. To seek revenge against those who stole his life.

Preview:

Dr. Hannibal Lecter was a man out of time.

Not in the sense that the hourglass of his life had prematurely been emptied of its granules, but rather that it had been placed upon its side. Paused, in effect, until it could be picked up again. The last memories of his life had been so painfully ordinary, by his standards, until they abruptly weren’t; devolving swiftly into betrayal and an unfamiliar helplessness that had burned bright up until the moment his world went dark.

As the founder and lead architect of Lecter Ltd, he had spent nearly every waking moment of the eight years prior to that moment dedicated to the fulmination of the ANA Project. Artificial Neural Assistants, known as ANAs in the common vernacular, had built upon the fledgling principles of true artificial intelligence to revolutionize the synergy between man and machine. Through the use of a neural net laid out over the delicate whorls of the brain, a synthetic mind was partnered to a living one, creating a symbiotic relationship between man and machine. In a world of ever evolving technology, Lecter Ltd provided a way to give fallible human minds a digital advantage in a way the changing world had never known.

Or so he had led them all to believe.

Summary:

Will Graham is a shadow, the head of one of the largest gangs on the eastern seaboard. His reach stretches from drug trafficking to murder, but killing a man in broad daylight sets off a chain of events that will threaten not only his kingdom, but the lives of his loved ones. He is instructed to employ a bodyguard, and manages to find the one man who can lie to his face, Hannibal Lecter. The combined pressure from Jack Crawford and his own unruly mobsters sets off the tempest that is Will Graham to thunder over everyone in his path.

Preview:

“Hannibal,” he snarls, “Why did you kill him?”

“Why didn’t you?” he asks calmly, “You hand out names like candy, yet you refuse to partake. Is that how you justify murder? By passing the buck so you can ease your conscience, too sensitive to do the work yourself.”

Will snarls again, stepping right up to Hannibal and the alpha at least has the good grace to turn his head in a subtle submissive gesture. Holy fuck he smells divine, how had Will not noticed? He knows his momentary distraction is taken as hesitation when Hannibal smirks.

“Did I hit a nerve, Will?” He must really think Will is incapable of killing someone himself to talk so much smack with teeth bared right at his neck. “Hypocrisy is ugly on you.”

Will growls, deep in his chest, and the alpha closes his eyes and shivers minutely at the sound. The heady scent from his neck changes, taking on the hot tone of adrenaline and the subtle musk of stirring arousal. Will fights the urge to lift his chin and expose his neck to appease Hannibal’s distress, to lure him closer. The instinct is so unlike what he’s felt around alphas during his heat, Will growls again. Hannibal goes unnaturally still, the side of his neck still tantalizingly bared for Will.

“Since you’ve invited yourself into my book club, get in the basement, and I’ll show you just how much of a hypocrite I really am.”

Hannibal swallows, his scent taking on the delicious curl of fear, and slinks around Will out the door.
