Jenna dan Aron, a Shielder, lives a solitary existence,
shunned by her people because she has visions and can see the future.
She’s even foreseen her own destiny: to be a human offering, a mate for a
savage Leor warlord. When two Shielder colonies need to be rescued, the
Leors who are their only hope demand a bride for their leader in return.
Knowing she can’t deny fate, Jenna steps forward.
The Leors are a hybrid race and only part human. Arion of Saura finds
mating outside his race abhorrent, but he has no choice, as his kind
faces extinction. His life is ruled by hard logic and physical prowess,
with no room for softness or emotion. Bound to him, Jenna faces a life of
barbarism with a mate who seems more beast than man. In the relentless
heat of the wild Sauran desert, Jenna and Arion wage a battle of wills,
until they discover that the heart is mightier than any weapon—and that
love can forge shadow and fire together.
