Ray, Host

Ray is eighteen, homeless, and living in a tent. Last night someone broke in. There's still blood on her sleeping bag. He's in jail.

Today, an alien saves her life. But, when he takes her hand, she finds out she's been chosen for something bigger than survival-a war spanning 13 galaxies. And if she doesn't marry him, the one who rescued her, they'll both die, because their minds linked.

But Ray knows a secret nobody else does: the final battle isn't the end. There are two other evil men coming, and the bad guys already know she's a threat. This time, she won't have the element of surprise.

This time, there's no guarantee anyone wins.
