From USA Today Bestselling Author Aileen Erin Mait Martinez has always yearned for more than waitressing in a greasy diner, especially when most people have left the polluted ruins of Earth behind for a better life on other planets. It's not just working at the diner that's making life hard for her. Being a half-human, half-alien girl has never been trickier. With the corporate government hunting down the last of her father's alien Auanare race living on Earth, hiding her growing special abilities has become a full-time job on its own. Every minute Mait stays on Earth is one minute closer to getting caught. The stress is almost more than she can bear, and when a fancy Space Tech officer gets handsy with her at the diner, she reacts without thinking. Breaking the officer's nose wasn't her smartest move. Now she's faced with three years forced labor on the volcano planet, Abbadon. With the job she's slotted for, it may as well have been a death sentence. It doesn't take Mait long before she realizes there's more to the mining on Abbadon than Space Tech has let on. As she makes unlikely allies, Mait uncovers Space Tech's plot to nuke the Aunare homeworld. The firepower stored in Abbadon's warehouses is more than enough to do the job ten times over. As the clock ticks, Mait knows that if she can't find a way to stop Space Tech, there will be an interstellar war big enough to end all life in the universe. There's only one question: Can she stop the total annihilation of humanity without getting herself killed in the process?

The moment I realised I had to go back to Earth, I panicked. It wasn't a little bit of panic. It was the kind that sucked the air and light from the room and made my body go cold with sweat and fear. I knew that if I did this, if I went back, then I had a shot of saving everyone - Earthers, Aunare, everyone - but it could cost me everything. It was still an insane, stupid, deadly idea, but Lorne agrees this is the right plan. Going to Earth will hurt him. He'll want to see where I lived, how I survived, and seeing, knowing, understanding my past better will only hurt him. And yet, I don't have a better plan. There will be no hiding there. Not anymore. Everyone on Earth knows my face. My name has become the rallying cry of the revolution. Returning to Earth is risky, but nothing in life is without risk. I'm not afraid anymore. All I feel is determination to win. I won't stop until SpaceTech has been destroyed

Amihanna di Aetes has finally accepted her place in the Aunare world. In a matter of weeks, she'll marry Lorne and become their High Queen, but no matter how hard she tries, she finds that she's always doing the wrong thing. At least that's what the High Council keeps telling her... There's only so much rejection a girl can take, which means she's spending her days trying to get out of High Council meetings. She's going back to what she does best: teaching and training. Preparing to invade Earth is a much better use of her time. But when SpaceTech tries to attack her again, it sets off a chain of events no one can stop. After weeks of refusing Lorne's request for a meeting, the Aunare's allies invite them to a neutral system, but nothing can stop this war now. Amihanna's done pretending to be a politician and can only be wohj she is. A fighter. A leader. A warrior.

"Tessa--part witch, part werewolf, raised human and now the unofficial leader of a newly minted supernatural alliance--gets a distressing call from her brother, Axel, in the middle of the night. Tessa and her mate, Dastien, race to save Axel, but Tessa's learned that nothing is ever easy in the supernatural world. She has seconds to make a choice, but there's only one thing Tessa can do to save the two most important men in her life--sacrifice herself. The last thing Dastien hears from Tessa was her plea--help Axel. But then their bond goes silent. He can't hear her. He can't feel her. And there's no sign of the attackers who took her. Dastien does everything he can to save Axel before calling his friends in a panic but when Dastien's finally reunited with her, there's no sign of recognition in her eyes. No magic in her touch. No wolf beneath the surface. Everything that made Tessa who she was...has been erased"--Page 4 of cover.

Broken, beaten-down, and plagued by nightmares, Amihanna di Aetes is surrounded by the Aunare race that makes up the other half of her heritage, but she feels alien amongst them. She's not sure which is worse: SpaceTech's overt hatred of Aunare or the Aunare's covert hatred of halfers. She hears their whispers whenever she enters a room and sees her death reflected in their eyes. Amihanna doesn't know who to trust anymore, but she hasn't survived this long by ignoring the warning signs all around her, especially when her instincts are screaming that a familiar choice is coming: flee or fight. Her parents assure her everything is okay--that there won't be any reason for her to fight, let alone flee--but with Amihanna's sudden return, questions arise among the Aunare: who should be blamed for the start of a full-scale war with SpaceTech, how much danger will the war bring, and is Amihanna truly fit to be the next high queen? Honestly, Amihanna wants to forget all the politics, her betrothal to Lorne, and the possibility of being queen. Her needs are much more basic. All she wants is a solid night's sleep where she doesn't wake up screaming with the phantom pain of her skin burning. All she needs is to live without fear of a mob tearing her away from her family. All she hopes for is a chance to dream of a future instead of constantly fighting for her right to live. And yet, somehow, everything she does leads her back to Lorne. He always seems to know when she's about to break under the pressures of her new life. His quiet patience is wearing Amihanna's protective walls down, and she's terrified of what will happen if they fall
