A Heart In Orbit
Lyra is one of four humans who awakens in a dazzling but dangerous world, lightyears from home. The stars are unfamiliar. The skies burn with twin moons. And Earth, as they knew it, is gone-erased by a cataclysm they can't explain. Somehow, the four of them have appeared where they shouldn't-even in theory. Declared anomalies by the Tharions, an advanced and war-forged alien race, the humans are placed under guarded observation. Assigned to watch over them is Kael Vel'Sar: heir to the throne, commander of the Royal Forces of Tharion Accord, and a figure whispered about more for his battlefield legend than his compassion. As Lyra begins to adjust to the new reality, she finds herself inexplicably drawn to Kael, whose loyalty to his people runs as deep as the scars of war across his skin. Kael is bound by tradition, honor, and blood. His duty is to protect his world, investigate the time-tossed humans, and report to the Council . But Lyra is unlike anyone he's ever met- curious, fearless and irresistibly human. Their chemistry ignites the moment they meet... a heat neither of them dares touch. Kael is forbidden to bond with an outsider. But Lyra is already a disruption to Tharion order. And because one kiss could shatter an empire. In a world where love between species is not just taboo but treason, Lyra and Kael must choose between their hearts and the fragile alliance that is all that stands between peace and extinction.Complete
