Taken by an alien empire and bound to a powerful AI, Alisia must survive captivity, transformation, and a forbidden bond that could change her fate.
A standalone sci-fi romance novella of alien captivity, awakening power, and dangerous desire.
Alisia and her sister Beatrice were supposed to be safe on Earth. Instead, they wake as captives aboard an alien warship—displayed, sold, and claimed as rare prizes in a brutal interstellar conflict. Far from home and surrounded by enemies, survival is no longer enough. Transformation is inevitable.
When a neural implant designed for royalty is accidentally fused to Alisia’s mind, everything changes. The implant houses Eric—an advanced symbiont AI whose presence enhances her body, sharpens her senses, and forges an intimate bond she never chose. As their connection deepens, the line between control and trust, dependence and desire begins to blur—binding Alisia to a consciousness she cannot escape, and may not want to.
Forced into relentless military training, reshaped into weapons for a war they barely understand, Alisia and Beatrice must navigate hostile powers, dangerous alliances, and the truth behind what they are becoming. Freedom feels distant. Trust is fragile. And every new ability carries a cost.
Chained is a complete standalone sci-fi romance novella and the origin of the Laim Saga—a story of captivity, awakening, and forbidden bonds at the edge of a fractured galaxy, where survival means more than escape and power always comes with consequences.
