Camilla,
I spent my entire life training to be the Chief Pilot on the first deep space mission, but nothing could have prepared me for what was to come. Hurtling through a black hole in my evac pod, landing on a hostile planet and needing to find a way home, making new friends, and eating the same god-awful soup every meal just to stay alive… I had to start over, learn everything from scratch. With two borrowed coins, I headed to the fight club. I didn’t know who to bet on, but when I spotted him, I wanted him to win. And then he started talking to me inside my head, telling me to free him and he’d take me home. His voice oozed sex but sounded like the promise of death. It both scared and excited me. Could I trust him? Could I refuse his offer to take me home?
Zorvak
When I find the traitor, he’s dead! After being drugged only to wake up a prisoner of the Humchins—a lawless species who run fight clubs and pleasure ships—I had to escape. I cast my senses wide, hoping to find a Compatible, even though it was extremely rare. And there she was. Another female from my planet. I struck hard, formed the mental pathways, and demanded she free me. She ignored my order. When she finally talked to me, I suspected she was not from Ulaya and I had bonded with an unknown species…sight unseen.
