After a freak accident, Kira wakes on a brutal alien planet where women went extinct. Mistaken for a boy by the deadly warrior who rescues her, Kira hides her gender to survive, even as the jungle and her own growing attraction threaten to expose her. When Vrox discovers Kira is not a boy but the first woman his planet has seen in years, her existence becomes a secret worth killing for. Hunted by desperate men and bound by a desire neither of them expected, they must choose between survival, duty, and a love that could change a dying world. *** A humorous, passionate alien-romance novel published in 2019 and rewritten in 2026.

"The weak don't survive here." At Arclight Academy, your worth is measured by the creature you bond with. For Serenya Vale, a scholarship student born with a chronic, progressive illness, surviving the brutal training seems impossible. She expects to fail. She expects to die. What she doesn't expect is Kairen Draxen. Lethal, silent, and wrapped in living darkness, Kairen is the only rider in centuries to bond with a shadow dragon. To survive his bond, he had to stop feeling entirely, turning himself into a cold, unyielding void. No one can break his control. Until Serenya walks through the iron gates. Suddenly, Kairen's shadows are acting on their own-escaping his command to pool at Serenya's feet and ease her pain. As the lethal academy trials begin, the two are forced into an impossible proximity. Bound by a cosmic soul connection that demands his darkness surrender to her light, Kairen is terrified of losing control, and Serenya is just trying to stay alive.
