Abducted. Tortured. And not who she thought she was. When Reika is taken by Yero-a ruthless alien warlord and commander of a brutal slave trafficking fleet-her life becomes a waking nightmare. Days of torment aboard his ship leave her broken, until a trio of Kalitorian warriors arrive on a secretive mission. But rescue isn't their plan. Instead of returning to Earth, Reika is taken to Kalitor, a distant planet ruled by the Sovereign Five-ancient, powerful beings who hold the fate of civilizations in their hands. Awaiting judgment, Reika uncovers two shattering truths: an enemy regiment is closing in, bent on returning her to Yero- and she isn't even human at all. Her past was a lie. Her future may start a war.
