My love for her might cost me everything. Even my life. Shunned for solar cycles by my own people, I finally found my place beside our future warlord. Upon his father’s death, I will take my position as his personal shaman, forever silencing whoever questions my loyalties and calls me a filthy half-blood. Together, we will lead the tribe to greatness. Until his betrothed arrives, the female from Earth chosen to be his urizaya, turning my world upside down. Again. Lia was the first female I ever kissed, the one woman I wanted to claim, and the only I ever loved. Also the one whose heart I broke. I disappeared on Lia all that time ago, but can I walk away from this all-consuming desire for her a second time? When she blurs the lines of loyalties and love, I have to decide between betraying a friend and satisfying fate. Bound to the Warlord is a full-length novel, and the third book in the Sci-Fi Romance series Ash Planet Warriors, continuing the story of Zerim and Lia from the free novella of the same name. While this is a spin-off to Garrison Earth, taking place 20 years after the invasion, the series can be read on its own.
