I’ve escaped a life of slavery. Now I’ve fallen prey to a brute. I escaped cruelty and torture…with a beast. He would think twice before eating me. Everything else is fair game though. Worse, I think I want to belong to this feral male. Our story is so sick and twisted, it truly belongs in this galaxy. Me, a human woman. Him, a Reaper warrior. Together, we fall in love in our rust bucket of a ship. It’s basically us against the galaxy and all those civilized people who think we’re trash. To survive, we’ll have to loot and plunder. We’ll have to kill and embrace the violence of the Reapers. But the more violence we indulge in The hotter things get between us. It’s like a drug. An aphrodisiac in a galaxy filled with war. We might be sneered at. Called unrefined. Even labeled monsters. If so, then Karviss is my monster. And I’m his. Together, we shall live the Reaper code. Reap. But do not sow. Caged Pearl explores a much darker and much more gritty Athenaverse than in other books. It’s the sixth book in the Reaper’s Pet series within the wider Athenaverse. Readers should be warned that the situations inside this book are of a much darker variety than other books in the Athenaverse and should exercise caution. All books share the same universe and feature a happily ever after.
