Scythe's Salvation
by Darlene Tallman
2025
Scythe has always been the one who handles the club’s darkest tasks, convinced that redemption isn’t in the cards for a man like him. A woman who refuses to flinch from the blood on his hands forces him to confront the difference between punishment and penance, and to believe that salvation might be possible after all.
RiffRaff's Reward
by Darlene Tallman
2025
Widowed vet tech Jillian has rebuilt her life around her daughter and her job, swearing off romantic entanglements after discovering her late husband’s infidelity. When laid‑back biker RiffRaff from the newly formed Imperial Knights MC keeps crossing her path, friendship slowly deepens into something more—just as a dangerous situation tests how far the Knights will go to protect their own.
Series background & context
Imperial Knights MC: Roanoke, VA picks up threads from Darlene Tallman’s Royal Bastards work and spins them into a new direction. Before founding the Imperial Knights, these bikers belonged to a large, worldwide club. Threats against that organization forced them to make an unthinkable choice: lay down their colors to protect brothers across the globe, then build something new from the ground up.
The first novella, RiffRaff's Reward, follows Jillian, a widowed vet tech in Roanoke whose late husband died in an accident—with his mistress in the car. Starting over as a single mom, she’s not looking for a biker, let alone a whole new club family. RiffRaff, one of the Knights, is just as wary of entanglements, but a slow‑burn connection between them grows as he helps her face lingering betrayals and an escalating local threat. Scythe's Salvation continues in the same vein with another brother confronting his past.
These stories sit between Tallman’s grittier RBMC books and her more community‑focused MC series. There’s darkness—a worldwide network of enemies, old grudges, and the politics of patching over—but also a strong focus on everyday life: kids, jobs, and what it takes to open your home to a new kind of family.
If you’re curious what happens after bikers walk away from a powerful organization and try to do things their own way, Imperial Knights MC offers that next chapter.
