You know the worst part about surviving? Mourning your dead. I never saw it coming. Never expected to watch the life drain from so many people I loved. The sting of betrayal cuts deep, and after choosing to break UCom law, I’ve been blacklisted—deemed an Unwelcome. A group of females is missing, destined to be sold as slaves. So, when the Illusians and the warrior I love take off to find them, I join without a second thought. Hell hath no fury like an Illusian scorned. And my Ren? He’s about to set the universe on fire.
