Vengeance

Earth's attack on the planet Zucar and the Zucarians who lived there sparked a flame of revenge in the daughter of its leaders. When the Earthlings stole her brother, the crown prince, it only added fuel to the fire.

Now, fourteen years later, there are three thousand Zucarians left alive, living in fear that the Earthlings will return to finish what they started. The weak treaty between the two planets is barely enough to keep them from attacking again.

With the sudden sickness of her parents, Zara is finally granted the ability to lead a search for her brother on the planet Earth. Once she takes her brother back, there will be nothing left to stop her from executing her revenge.
