With the survival of her crew at stake, an old enemy lurking in the shadows, and a world on the brink of war, can Sherise lead her people safely home?
Honouring a pledge made in the blood-soaked dirt of a prison planet, Sherise volunteers to accompany the stolen people of Earth home. But when a collision plunges their ship off course and emerges three hundred years into Earth’s future, she encounters a dystopian planet seething with hidden danger.
And where more than one tribe jostle for dominance. Whilst there appears to be a stable society protected within the Fortress from the Outworlders, Sherise quickly discerns evidence of constant surveillance and rigid rules. Their enemy, the warrior tribe the Lycaneans, roam the desolate and ruined landscape doing battle with predators and something far worse – the Half-dead with their never-ending hunger.
The window of being able to return to her own time and planet is rapidly closing.
With the Lycanean chieftain Maaka determined to claim her as his fated mate – and use her people’s technology in a war against the Fortress, Sherise stands on a knife’s edge.
Should she accept the hand of friendship extended to her by the governing council of the Fortress - in the hope they can help her own people?
Or follow her heart which she realises now lies with Maaka. Only he is a warrior resolved on war to alleviate his people’s suffering and harbours a terrible secret of his own.
With the safety of her passengers and crew paramount, Sherise must choose her alliances with great care. For an old enemy is hidden on the planet, and he thirsts for revenge.
For readers who love strong characters, action and adventure in a science fiction / dystopian setting, high stakes and deadly consequences, intrigue and battle scenes, horror elements and romance.
