LOVE WAS NEVER PART OF THE AGENDA, BUT IN THE END, IT WOULD PROVE TO BE THEIR ONLY SALVATION. BREHAN TUCKER spends the first eighteen years of her life fighting poverty and abuse in an orphanage in Maine, then six years struggling to make a relatively simple life for herself and two other young women from the orphanage. But one stormy night, a roadside assassination attempt and a plummet from a cliff, sets her life on a course among the stars. Her hunger for freedom and identity ignites anew when she and the other women are stolen from Earth by a godlike being, as breeding stock to an alien race. With every intention of returning to her world, she uses her wits and cunning to sabotage his authority and win the loyalty of his crew. But fate has other plans for this fiery woman. ERTH is the unfortunate incarcerator. A being whose immeasurable power is confined within a humanoid shell, he doesn't expect this last journey to Earth to be any different than the previous twenty three. A Guardian, a Katian, his laws are unchangeable, his command, unquestionable, his will, undeniable. Until confronted with Brehan, he has but two goals: to produce a son, who is to replace him as supervisor on the re development of the new Syre race, and to return to Haveth where his own kind await him. But fate has other plans for him as well.
