I was sold to the stars to save my family. I didn’t expect to be claimed by a god of war.
When my transport ship was ripped apart in the Dead Sector, I thought death was a mercy. Then he appeared. Kaelen Vane. A towering warrior of obsidian and violet flame.
He calls me his A’shari—his fated pulse. He says he saved me, but his touch feels like a brand, and his eyes look at me with a hunger that promises no escape.
He’s a rebel, a killer, and a king in exile. Now, the entire galaxy is hunting us. To survive, I have to trust the alien who insists I belong to him. But in the dark reaches of space, the only thing more dangerous than the enemies behind us... is the heat burning between us.
