Six Alphas are stunned as their prayers are answered, and Omegas are miraculously delivered to them from the sky... I’m happy aliens abducted me from Earth. This is the most excitement I’ve had in years! Landing on a purple planet, exploring a strange forest with Bigfoot creatures, and then meeting a giant… extremely hot purple man. What more could I ask for? I’m used to being misunderstood and considered different. Since I’m a pro at dealing with people after taking my work required anger management courses, it’s refreshing to interact with an alien species instead of human people. Now I really am the strange one. Being kidnapped by extraterrestrials quickly becomes a secondary concern when I’m trapped with my tantalizing fantasy. Especially since Vinker doesn’t think I’m rude or standoffish. But there’s much more at play than just me and finding the spacecraft only the sak know the location of in the forest. Because when I’m reunited with the Earth women, we fulfill the strange Prophesy, requiring all the Omega Mates to literally save the planet. Can we figure out how to shut down Alta’s Defense Systems, stopping the energy overloads before they destroy the planet and all its inhabitants? Do we really have a choice? This Paperback starts with Jalen's Challenge to complete the series! It’s because of my competitiveness the large fish swallowed me! If I hadn’t let Vinker goad me into the Challenge…. but the prize of a flying craft? I just couldn’t control myself. After all, forbidden spacecrafts have never crashed into the water in front of us before. As Alpha leaders, Vinker and I only gather our Encampments together briefly on an annual cycle. One of us had to win the rights of salvage. Imagine my surprise when I finally open the egg-shaped machine and discover an alien female! While I’m hiding the outlawed spacecraft from the Low Dwellers, Vinker leaves when he spots another streaking across the sky. I’m left caring for the injured female and hoping she’ll survive. And I want her to live. After all, I’ve never felt such a powerful compulsion to claim and keep a female. She’s mine. But why is she here? I still can’t communicate with her, and I wonder if Vinker learned more. Is he hiding and hoarding his claim like I am? Someone abducted me from Earth, operated on my head, and then dumped me on a purple planet! I don’t remember getting abducted… or sent here. I just wake up from an amazing dream about my grandmother—and I’m here. Was the dream prophetic? Is this purple alien really mine? But why here? And just where is here?
