She was supposed to dissect him. Instead, she saved him—and doomed them both.
Dr. Mira Hunt is the last scientist on a frozen research moon, harvesting alien energy cores for the Consortium. The Velthari are the enemy—sentient beings of light reduced to specimens, their power drained to fuel humanity's war.
But when Mira looks into the eyes of her latest subject, something shifts. One moment of mercy changes everything.
Commander Elion Quinara awakens, and the psychic bond forming between them rewrites the rules of survival. As Consortium forces close in and his own people reject their connection, Mira and Elion face an impossible truth: they're becoming something new. Something neither human nor Velthari.
Caught between two species at war, with a bond that could kill them both, Mira must decide what she's willing to become—and whether love born from captivity can transcend the sins of their pasts.
A sci-fi romance of enemies to lovers, psychic bonds, and two souls merging into something the universe has never seen.
