In a world turned upside down, young college student Alexia thought her life couldn't get any worse after losing her job. But fate had other plans. As Earth falls prey to an alien invasion, humanity is brought to its knees, subjugated by the technologically superior and ruthless Shuapa race. With humankind's very existence in peril, Alexia must quickly adapt to a life on the edge, navigating a dangerous path through a new world order where humans are considered less than vermin.
Enter Xero, an ambitious Shuapa foot soldier from the warrior caste known as the Serkel. Trained for battle from birth, Xero has grown weary of the constant carnage and longs for more. Sent to Earth as part of the invasion force, he soon finds himself distinguishing himself on the battlefield, gaining the attention of his superiors and becoming a legend among his people. Yet, just as his star is on the rise, Xero is betrayed, unjustly accused of treason, and cast into prison to wither away.
Thrown together by fate, Alexia and Xero find themselves sharing a common goal: survival. Trapped in the midst of chaos, these two beings from different worlds, one forged in the fires of war and the other raised in the gentle embrace of peace, must learn from one another in order to survive. But can two individuals so different find common ground, or are they doomed to remain oil and water, perpetually apart?
Brace yourself for an exhilarating tale of love, loss, and the indomitable spirit of survival that lies within us all. As they traverse a strange and savage landscape, Alexia and Xero will challenge everything you know about sacrifice, loyalty, and the bonds that bind.

Venomous Mistake
This is Marco and Clara's brutal/sexy story.
Clara
Revenge was my goal-to take down the enemy. I've trained under my Uncle, but everything crumbles when my foolish heart starts beating for a man I shouldn't want. Rule one-seek vengeance for my parents and disappear. One ludicrous mistake, and he has me-punishing me and forcing my secrets out. I'm on a mission, but the heart wants what it wants. I'm running, and he is following. Even war can't stop love, can it?
Marco
One look at the black-haired mamba, and I knew she was trouble. My life has been nothing but void with the pulling of triggers and following rules. I wanted her until she betrayed me. She lurked in tall grass like the snake she was and struck when no one expected her to. She sought revenge, and now she is on the loose. You know the saying, "If you want something, go get it. Period." It's what I did. She made one mistake, and I've got her right where I needed her. Is my punishment enough to unravel her secrets, and will the world turn against us in the moment of love? Two things were certain: Clara Aguilar's fangs are sharp, and her venom is poisonous.
