Queen Aliyah has spent her life carrying the weight of a crown, leading her people across the stars on a centuries-old search for the legendary planet Earth.
When their voyage brings them to the newly discovered world of Tal-Sera, Aliyah intends to remain only long enough for her people to rest and replenish their resources. Then she meets Prince Khamari.
For the first time as a grown woman, Aliyah experiences a love untouched by politics, tradition, or duty. With Khamari, she is no longer merely a Queen or Pharaoh-she can simply be herself. But as a brief stop becomes an extended stay, her growing passion threatens to pull her away from the destiny awaiting her among the stars.
Caught between the man who has awakened her heart and the people depending upon her to lead them to Earth, Aliyah must decide how much she is willing to sacrifice for a love she may never find again.
The Passion of Queen Aliyah is a sweeping science-fiction romance about forbidden love, personal freedom, and a powerful ruler torn between her heart and the future of her people.
