In the dangerous expanse of the Eon galaxy, Nova Ainsley has discovered her home is about to be decimated by Dominion, seeking its invaluable Neron deposits. Desperate to escape with her father, Nova has been building highly illegal weapons fueled by Neron's immense power, and selling them on the black market. But her dangerous path is about to intertwine with the last Nero, Valen, a man feared as the most powerful being in the galaxy, the only person capable of wielding Neron to his will. One touch shows her the future—it’s with him—her fingers laced with his, love mingled with darkness. Their connection defies logic, and how can Nova reconcile her feelings and the way he looks at her, when she knows the truth of the terrible things Valen has done?

She won’t put her chosen family at risk. But this tangled web of danger and desire leaves her with an agonizing decision. The love between her and Valen could bring the entire galaxy to its knees.
