Upon waking in a dimly lit white room, my biggest fear was that I had been kidnapped by a serial killer. I learned there are things out in the universe much worse than anything on Earth. And, even if you escape, you can never go home. They’re not kind, these being who stole me and want to use me as chattel. The others—part man, part machine—have claimed me for their own, but I’m far from saved. After a lifetime of being ripped apart and put back together, being forced to serve and guard a race who stole us and remade us, she is our mercy. And we shall be her salvation. We will do anything to protect her from the Zapex. Even if it means war. Publisher’s Note: This book contains dark BDSM elements and a non-traditional spin on a traditional HEA.
