The Titans' BlazeStar is ready for spaceflight and prepped to pick up the human survivors until they discover the lost Brothers buried in mud halfway around the planet. The arrival of another enemy warship threatens their rescue operation and escape.

Esthi

I escape Mothership Marst in a pod, but I don't stay with the other women. I'm caught in a dust devil and thrown far into the desert. No one comes for me, so I set out on my own. I've been hitching rides on Solcrue vessels, looking for my sister. This is nothing new. But now, I'm confident I'm being followed. I fear they know who I am.

Just as the squad of Solcrue approaches my position, a team of Titans confronts them. I'm caught in the crossfire until a shield appears out of nowhere, ratcheting up from the dirt and into a cocoon of metal that protects me. The Titans push the battle away but don't return for us, leaving me alone with the mostly buried CyberTitan named Armor, who has a voice like thunder.

He protected me when he didn't even know me, a gesture uncommon to me in recent years. I dig and scrape to break him free. There are many more like him that we free, though Armor is more than enough Titan for me.

I hope the word Armor receives of a ship leaving Ellipsis is true. And I really hope they don't forget us. I still haven't found my sister. She might be on their ship. Then again, being stranded on a planet with hunky Titan, Armor, doesn't sound so bad.

Armor
For many years, I have hibernated in this dust like my Brothers. I can hear some of them, but I fear for the rest. Esthi's arrival is unexpected. She is small but works diligently to get me up and running again. I have never seen a human fight so hard to save a Titan before. I am indebted to her and dreaming of things I shouldn't. I can't help it. I must be broken. Titans are forbidden from fraternizing with humans.

Together, we free my Brothers only to be forced to run from Solcrue and Cyborg Security Patrol soldiers. So much has happened in the years we've been buried. The single enemy ship I remember has turned into four, plus a massive fleet of berserkers and skysprinters that are eager to rip us to shreds for surviving their galactic domination.

Luckily, we aren't as alone as we thought. There are rebels like Esthi on our side. I'll do anything to keep her safe and get our Brothers and Sisters off this wretched world for good. I haven't tasted freedom for long, but I'm certain that a future with Esthi is worth fighting and even dying for.

A steamy, one-love, fast-love, science fiction romance with cursing, violence, and action.

Having spent most of her life scavenging and hiding in the bowels of ships, learning about and repairing Titans and other mechanized vessels, Esthielle has been searching for her sister, and is horrified to find she’s been augmented and cloned by the Solcrue to destroy what’s left of the humans and surviving Titans. On a mission to Ahshoga to liberate and repair a group of 44 Titans who’ve been languishing in various stages of damage and decommissioning, she successfully manages to help free one of the largest Titans ever created who in turn helps her free the rest, each helping carry those who can’t be revived without extensive repairs.

As the human woman is freeing him from his near burial site of several years, Armor recognizes her as his mate, gratitude blending with true affection and awe as his imperative shifts from servitude toward humans to something even greater.

Of course the enemy never rests, and they’re quickly beset on all fronts by those out to destroy them.

This is a pulse-pounding, action/adventure with a love story at its heart, and it furthers the massive world building Sybur Phyre has been expanding upon in this series, adding new insights and more pieces of the greater political and military puzzle. It’s not necessary to have read the previous books to enjoy this one, but it certainly helps as there are a great number of moving parts.

I was fortunate to have received an advance reader copy from the author, and I’m pleased to share my honest review.

He was built to protect. She was never meant to be saved.

When rebel tech Esthi (h) crash-lands on the desert planet Ellipsis, she doesn’t expect to find a half-buried Titan barely clinging to life. Armor (H) was designed to shield others, not feel. But as Esthi digs him out of the dirt and into the war again, something begins to shift inside him. Their survival depends on trust. Their bond grows with every fight.

With enemy soldiers on their trail and an army of forgotten Titans buried beneath the sands, Esthi and Armor form an unlikely alliance to rescue what’s left of his squad, and to confront the past that turned her sister into a weapon. As the mission escalates, their connection deepens. Armor begins to question everything he was programmed to obey. Esthi refuses to let him be a weapon without choice.

What starts as necessity becomes something far more dangerous. Together they fight through betrayal, blood-soaked battles, and the kind of intimacy neither of them was designed to handle. When sacrifice is no longer just a mission protocol, and love no longer just a malfunction, they’ll have to decide what it means to truly belong.

Esthi evolves from a driven rebel engineer into a strategic leader who inspires both humans and Titans through her bravery, technical skill, and emotional resilience. Armor transforms from a damaged, duty-bound protector into a fully autonomous being capable of making his own choices, feeling love, and redefining his purpose beyond war. Their relationship shifts from cautious allies to deeply bonded partners, built on mutual respect, shared battles, and emotional vulnerability.

A forbidden, enemies to allies, human-cyborg, action, sci-fi, futuristic romance, exploring love, loyalty, identity, transformation, sacrifice, survival, resistance against oppression, unity through difference, trust, betrayal, autonomy, consent, healing, and redemption. ‍Really good end to series.

Rich ,descriptive , imaginative and unputdownable!

Esthi is a gray and escapes the mothership Marst in a pod after a failed atempt to rescue her sister,in the hands of the evil scientists of Solcrue.
She crashes in Ellipsis and finds Armor buried in dry mud along with 44 other Titans. 
Sybur Phyre created a incredibly rich and imaginative overarching plot and it shows in each new installment of the series and Armor is no exception. 
A never-ending of action in a detailed and often complex plot, good world building and charismatic characters that pull all your strings. 
A must read!

Excellent!

Esthielle, or Esthi, has lived in hiding on Solcrue ships most of her life. She has listened and learned and sabotaged when possible. She has been searching for her sister Myria since she was captured. She is finally able to release all of the human woman that were being held as slaves on the ship over Ellipsis. She has heard there’s a rebel group of humans and titans that she hopes to join. But her pod is blown off course and she ends up alone in the desert. When she stumbles across a titan buried deep in the mud, she digs him out and drags him to her cave and repairs him.

Armor can’t believe this tiny human finally saved him. He and his 43 brothers have been buried for 5 years. Together they free the others and begin the dangerous journey to the mothership that is preparing to leave Ellipsis. But the Solcrue have plans of their own to destroy them.

This is fast paced, tons of action, love on the fly and betrayal. The exciting conclusion to the series is not to be missed!

4.25 stars. This story is dual POV, well written, and a fast-paced, action-filled, male cyborg (Armor)/female altered human (Esthi), sci fi romance that ends a series/overarching plot arc. Whilst the romance stands alone, the overarching plot definitively does not. I appreciated Esthi’s self-sacrificing nature, as well as her advanced STEM skills, which were vital to execution of plans. I appreciated Armor’s other focus and his genuine care for those he considered under his protection. I enjoyed the way they both learnt to take more care of their own needs. I enjoyed the steamy intimate scenes and the establishment early of relationship intentions. I enjoyed the engaged, integrated secondary characters. I enjoyed the closing of several plot lines that had carried through from earlier stories in the series and the set up of future stories. There are so many cyborgs introduced in the series that I’d love to know more about and I’m looking forward to more from this author.

I received a complimentary copy from the author and this is my voluntary honest review.

Like the other books in the series, Armor is full of high-stakes action. I love the alternating POVs—giving us a clear perspective from both lead characters.

The cyborg hero is damaged, dangerous, and loyal to a fault. The FMC is human, vulnerable, but far from weak. Their connection forms fast—definitely insta-love territory—but it’s grounded in shared survival and mutual respect. There’s heat, but also emotional weight. Neither one walks away unchanged.

What stands out here isn’t just the world-building or the pace—it’s how much heart sits under the metal. Each lead is distinct (as well as each supporting character), their relationships complex enough to keep you invested even between the fight scenes.

This isn’t the start of the series, so don’t expect a full arc closure here. Armor sits in the middle of a larger story, and the “happy for now” ending fits the ongoing tension.

For fans of: sci-fi action romance with cyborg-human dynamics.

Esthielle (Esthi), a cyber tech, crash lands her escape pod on Ellipsis, but away from the rest of the humans. She has escaped the mothership, Marst after trying to rescue her sister, Myria. Swept off course by a sandstorm, she lands in a desert area near a half-buried Titan, Armor, who is a Shield Protector. They form an alliance and dig out the rest of Armor's squad which has been buried in the sand and mud for 5 years. The squad travels toward the rest of the humans and CyberTitans hoping to get off the planet in the Blazestar, encountering Solcrue soldiers enroute. Will they make the deadline for the scheduled departure?

An excellent book and HEA, bringing an awesome series to a conclusion; all wrapped up and pulling the threads from other books in the series to the final battle and exciting escape from Ellipsis.

Armor

I've enjoyed this entire series. I think this is the last book in this part of the series and I will miss all these characters. The main characters in this book were both brilliant, committed, and sweet.

Her
“You can’t possibly want me,” she mutters in disbelief. “This isn’t happening.”

Him
"This is what I wanted. I just can’t believe it’s happening to me."...
"I did not expect her to be so interested in me. All I wanted was to pleasure and serve her."

Her
"I was trained to mend things in the shadows so others might live in the light."

Him
"I did not expect any attraction I felt to be to a human. And I never considered myself worthy of a Cybertech."

This sort of confidence with humility is baked into the Titans. It's really quite lovely, like maybe we could create healthy masculinity since it seems impossible for it to occur naturally.

Picking up where ‘Menace’ left off, with preparations for leaving Ellipsis, ‘Armor’ starts with Esthi digging Armor out of the dried mud. Their connection is instant—lightening fast for spicy times, and it is hot Hot HOT 🥵 Armor, it turns out, is a total cinnamon roll for Esthi.

From that point on, it is non-stop action, drama, solidifications of brotherhood and family, expressions of deep, deep love.

Love author Sybur Phyre’s books. Always know I’m in for a hell of a good time!

These books are always stressful to read. But in a good way! Armor is a protector, the Titan Shield. He has been trapped in the sands for five years. And just when he is preparing for the Dark Sleep he is rescued by Esthi, a cyber tech. Of course he immediately claims her.😉 That is th start of this couples adventures as the race toreunite with the other cyber titans and escape the planet gets more dangerous and furious. I don’t want to give th story aware but this book really had me on the edge of my seat. The world building is awesome and the book moves at a fast pace. Armor was rescued along with others of his squad.so I’m hopeful this means even more Titans will find love! (Hint, hint) I received an ARC and already preordered a copy as well. I love this author

Another great engaging action-adventure romance story I'd read. This story is about Esthielle/Esthi our human whose been hopping from ship to ship looking for her sister. While during a battle skirmish Esthi is saved by Armor by shielding her. Esthi then uncovers Armor from the dirt and repairs him. What occurs afterwards was a well written engaging story that captivated me. They were strong and likable characters, the action and worldbuilding was well defined, and their chemistry and romance was titillating in this enjoyable copy I'd received and volunteer to read and review.

Exciting adventure-romance
An exciting end story to an amazing series. Action-packed, great world-building, likable characters, love at first sight, and fast paced so strap yourself in. It was nice to see the previous characters come back in, too. HEA …FN. I loved reading about the Titans and their mates and happily recommend the series. While all stories can be read as a standalone, it makes more sense when you read the books in order… plus it is an enjoyable adrenaline-packed adventure. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving this review.

Exciting Series!

Armor is book 11 in the Hunted Relics series and wow what a conclusion! However, I think there is going to be more in-store for the CyberTitans and the women who love them! There has been many adventures in this series and I think we are going to meet some of the Rogue CyberTitans next and I can’t wait for more from this creative alien space drama!

I absolutely recommend reading this series from the beginning and in order. There are so many details, characters and events that contribute to the amazing overall plot and you do not want to miss a thing!

Another amazing story! Thank you Ms. Phyre

Ms. Phyre serves up all the excitement and feelings that she is so good at. It was like eating my favourite dessert. I savoured it. And it was perfection. Please don't be in a hurry to leave this world. I am interested to see what happens now that they are all together

What an epic battle in the end.

I loved Armor and Esthi, as our last Gray, is an amazing character. Looking forward to seeing what happens to her sister. Also where that worm Joey went. I can't wait to see all the Titan reunions and where we go from here. Still have questions as to how their squadron managed to get stuck in mud, but I let it go. Great series.
