Min-Ji knows one thing for certain: Corin, the fierce, inventive Naga warrior, is her mate. So why does he avoid her?

Min-Ji

It's my fault we crashed on this strange, barbaric alien planet. The others might have forgotten for now, but I haven't. Then why does even my supposed mate avoid me?

Corin is smart, brave, and has a heart so big, he takes on far too much to keep our new clan safe. When he goes off on a mission to save our missing friends, I follow him. This is my chance to prove that we belong together, no matter the risk.

Corin

Once, my only goal in life was to protect my friends and uncover relics from the past. Now? The only thing I want is to keep my mate safe, and she does everything in her power to thwart me.

Going on a mission to rescue our friends and defeat an ancient evil is not the time or place to figure this out. But she leaves me no choice—neither does Triff, the little cleaning bot that insists on following me everywhere.

As dangers mount, I'm faced with a choice: Do I fight for our bond and let the passion between us ignite? Or is the greatest danger losing her forever?
