City of Liars

Nialah Eléa Kryze doesn't understand the galaxy, but the galaxy understands her.

Born of an abusive Mandalorian father and a dead Twi'lek mother, Nialah was raised in the forests of Mandalore by queens and Jedi. She speaks six languages, fights with the grace of a ballerina, and can sense darkness before it strikes. But at eighteen, she is just a girl who craves deep pressure, quiet rooms, and the company of her cats.

Enter Hera Syndulla. Thirty-eight, commanding, and devastatingly elegant. When Hera sees Nialah, she doesn't just fall in love-she becomes obsessed.

To Nialah, Hera is a sanctuary. She doesn't realize the captain's lingering touches are claims, or that Hera's soothing Twi'leki whispers are weaving a cage. As the Empire closes in and Nialah's trauma threatens to consume her, Hera's need to protect her curdles into a dark, breathless possession.

She'll keep Nialah safe from the galaxy. But who will keep Nialah safe from Hera?
