I came for vengeance, but fate guided me to the one female I can’t live without…

Rachel: I’m an investigative reporter, not a damsel in distress. So when I’m kidnapped by an alien warrior—one who’s as dangerous as he is captivating—it’s hard to wrap my head around. One moment, I’m ready to interview Dr. Weidenhof about the wormhole that connects Earth to Vandruk. The next, I’m taken by Ghan-Zahr, a powerful Vandruk khadahr who came to Earth on a deadly mission: revenge.

I should despise him. He’s torn me from everything I know—my career, my family, my world. But Ghan-Zahr isn’t the ruthless monster I expected. As we travel across the wild, untamed lands of Vandruk, something unexpected happens. I start to understand his pain, his loss and worse, I start to feel something for him. More than fear, more than fascination—it’s something deep, something dangerous.

As I start falling for him harder every day, one question tortures me: how can I sacrifice my life on Earth—my family—for a future with Ghan-Zahr? Is love enough to make me abandon everything I’ve ever known?

Ghan-Zahr: I came to Earth for vengeance. The humans destroyed my people with their wormhole, and I’ve sworn to make them pay. Dr. Weidenhof was my target. But then I saw her—Rachel. She wasn’t supposed to be part of the mission, yet I couldn’t leave her behind. She’s mine.

She’s nothing like the other humans. She’s fierce, intelligent, and maddeningly stubborn. As we journey across Vandruk, I feel the bond between us growing. She’s my mate. But I can’t force her to stay with me. Especially when I know she’s torn between her world and mine.

My people plan to destroy the wormhole, cutting off all contact between our worlds. But that also means Rachel will have to choose between her family, her life and Vandruk and us. How can I ask her to stay with me when I know the cost?

Yet, losing her is not something I can bear.

The wormhole will be destroyed. Time is running out. Can I fight for Rachel? Will she choose me—before we’re separated forever? Or will the destruction of the portal destroy us, too?

When I decided to take a mate, I never considered falling in love with her.

JENNA: I’ve always been more comfortable underground than above it, so when I’m asked to travel to the alien planet Vandruk to help open a mysterious cave, it feels like just another expedition—albeit a strange one. Sure, the planet is breathtaking, and the Vandruk men are… mind-bending, but I’m a scientist first. No matter how handsome those alien barbarians are, I have a job to do. Until I lay eyes on Dzar-Ghan.

He’s everything I always kept away from—tall, imposing, strong, commanding, yet with a quiet intensity that draws me in. He’s tasked with guiding me to the cave, but the more time we spend together, the more I realize there’s something deeper beneath his stern exterior.

But as we near the cave, I cant shake the feeling that things arent what they appear to be and my bosses havent been entirely truthful with me. The secrets of this world start to unravel, and I discover that I might be at the center of a conflict far bigger than I ever imagined.

Dzar-Ghan:

For ten years, the souls of Vandruk’s lost women have haunted me, their voices trapped in the darkness of the cave that collapsed when the humans opened their cursed wormhole. Among them is my first wife, and though her memory should have faded, it lingers like a scar that will never heal. Now, my people need heirs, and with Vandruk’s women gone, the only option left is mating with a human. The very thought repulses me, humans are the enemy—until I meet Jenna.

She’s not what I expected—shes clumsy and adorable. Her eyes take Vandruk in with a light I havent felt in a long time.

Much is at stake, from a looming war with the humans, to a conspiracy that could shake the very core of Vandruk at a time where we are at our most vulnerable.

Yet as we journey deeper into the wilds of Vandruk, the woman I intended to use becomes the one I can’t live without. But with secrets between us and the ghosts of our pasts rising to the surface, will we survive what’s waiting in the dark?

I should hate her. Instead, all I want is to make her MINE.

AMBER: To catch my twin sister's killer, I have to join an expedition to another planet and pretend to be her. My thirst for revenge drives me through the alien wildlands, where I home in on my prey.

The alien planet's strange beauty is getting to me more with every passing day. Stranger yet, I'm becoming more comfortable pretending my sister's life is mine.

Things become even more complicated by the arrival of another barbarian leader and my attraction to him is instant. When he offers to take the group harboring Dawn's killer back to the portal, I know I need to join him. Now I just have to figure out how to bring a killer down and resist my growing desire for this alien khadahr.

DZUR-KHAN: Ever since the majority of our females died during a tragic cave collapse caused by the damned humans, I've hated them. Now, they might just be our only answer to saving my species. When word reaches me that one of my fellow khadahrs has dared the unthinkable and invited human females to Vandruk, I have to see them for myself.

The moment I lay eyes on Dawn, I know two things: the name doesn't suit her, and I'm irrevocably drawn to her. She is daring and brave, beautiful and determined. I have to make her mine despite all the mysteries surrounding her. Then again, I've never shied from a challenge.

Once upon a time…

There was an enchanted forest where fairy tales came to life…

ELIZA: After our father remarries, his new bride shows her true colors as an evil witch and curses my eleven brothers to live the rest of their lives as swans. There is only one way to lift the spell: I must take a six-year vow of silence, and at night, collect stinging nettles from graveyards to make eleven cloaks.

Together, my brothers and I venture outside Fable Forest to escape our stepmother's wrath.

Three years later my vow of silence is severely tested when I meet the most handsome man I have ever seen. The infatuation is mutual, but how can I make him understand that I need to spend my nights at graveyards when I'm not allowed to speak?

EDWARD: Building a town on the outskirts of Fable Forest was just the kind of challenge I was looking for. Until I run into a nasty witch that is. For saving her cat, she rewards me with a curse to turn into a dragon at night. She claims this is how I will find my true love.

But how can I find true love like this?

I resign myself to a life without love, until I meet the most beautiful stranger who lives in an old, abandoned graveyard with eleven swans. Doubting my sanity, I can't stay away from her.

Winning a crown was easy, winning a queen is where the real battle begins

ALICE: I imagine the worst when Im abducted by ruthless alien slave traders. So when Im taken to a handsome alien king and he tells me he is going to make me his queen I should be thrilled, right? Somehow though he turns all my emotions into overdrive, including desire and anger. Torn between the two, I unleash first one then the other.

ZAYDEN: Find a pale blonde and make her your queen or forfeit your throne, the priests decree. But resigning is out of the question after my hard-fought battle for the throne. So, Im forced to strike an unthinkable deal with slave traders to locate the specified female. The moment I glimpse her hologram, she consumes my thoughts. Shes captivating and exotic, a species entirely new to me, and Im eager to crown her as my queen. Unfortunately, despite our instant attraction, Alice isnt keen on my plans, forcing me to employ all my battle strategies to conquer my reluctant queen and make her MINE.

In the depths of space our worlds collide…

ZOE: After aliens invaded Earth I am abducted and taken on a spaceship, bound for an unknown fate. Not even the company of other prisoners grants any hope, as we are all struggling to survive.

Just as it seems the ship is about to crash, a mysterious savior appears—a powerful alien with eyes as dark as space.

He is arrogant and self assured, but also the most handsome man I have ever seen. Our headbutting quickly leads to… other things. Things that turn even stranger when matching tattoos appear on both our arms.

RASSLA: I am a solitary soldier. Hired to relentlessly rid the universe of criminals who can't be touched by normal law enforcement. When my superiors recall me during a routine assassination operation to assign a new mission to me, I have no idea that soon my fate will take an unexpected turn.

My new assignment turns out to be anything but routine and the human female who challenges my patience and… other body parts, fascinates me endlessly.

The sudden appearance of matching tattoos on her and my arms make things even stranger and encourages me to dive deeper into the past of my species. Finding out that we are fated mates complicates my life.

Only one thing is certain, my superiors won't like me taking a mate, nor will they allow me to retire in peace.

I thought I had lost her forever, but this time, I will not let her go!

Blanche: I don't know who I am or who I'm running from, only that if they catch me, it will be the end of me. My only option is to hide inside a busy nightclub to escape. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem any safer inside. But the stranger who comes to my rescue might just be the knight I've been looking for.

Little do I know that he is not exactly the white knight from the legends I used to listen to. He's the opposite, yet I feel strangely safe in his arms. When he says my name, though, all I remember is him holding me captive inside a cave…

Devon: Time lost its meaning the moment my love was torn from me. The Devil himsel ripping my heart out didn't cause as much agony as losing her did.

When she unexpectedly turns up in my club—more than four hundred years after her death—I swear I will do anything to keep her by my side. Even the devil himself will not take her away from me this time.

When I learn what they did to her, my wrath unleashes.

I swore I would avenge what the humans did to my species, but fate had other plans…

GWYN: Working as a janitor for IC, the inventor of the wormhole to another world, was supposed to be just the beginning—a foot in the door to my dream of exploring Hope One the planet Earth connects to through the portal. But everything changes the night an imposing alien warrior steps through the portal from Hope One. Hes fierce, powerful, and speaks English? Even stranger, hes demanding human women for his planet—and I'm part of the deal. I always dreamed of traveling to Hope One, but now I'm starting to want something more than just an adventure

TZAR-THAN: Our planet, Vandruk, is dying. The appearance of a strange portal has caused a catastrophe on Vandruk that killed nearly all our females. The survival of my species hangs by a thread and I realize my species' only chance is to negotiate with the humans. My mission is simple: demand they surrender some of their females in exchange for passage to our world. But the moment I see her, my mission changes. I would tear apart the universe if that's what it takes to make her MINE.

A fated love, a battle for survival, and an alien warrior willing to move the stars to keep her by his side. Can their connection overcome the divide between their worlds? Or will their love be torn apart by conspiracies from unseen forces and enemies?
