ALAHNA: Many generations ago, humans fled to the planet Thyre, which is ruled by warlords. Each year, our outposts pay tribute to the Thyres for their protection and for allowing us to live on their land.
This year, we are short on horses and so I'm chosen to be part of the tribute given to the Warlord of Grymburg. I don't know what awaits me, but I wasn't prepared for the warlord to take my breath away and claim me the moment he laid eyes on me.
BROGAN: The humans, a tolerated species on Thyre, have many uses, but by far their greatest asset is their talent to breed horses.
When it's time to collect this season's tribute, I'm dismayed that they're usinge human kallinies to pay their debts instead of the horses I expected. At least until my eyes land on her. The most delectable kallini I have ever seen and who soon heats my cold warlord heart. Before I know it, she even brings pets into our home.
She was given to me as a tribute, but soon she becomes the master of my heart.
DAMARIS: Married by proxy to Warlord Vandor to ensure the safety of my father's kingdom, I'm kidnapped before I even meet my groom. But when he rides to my rescue, he is more than I could have ever dreamed of in a man, and I can hardly believe my good luck.
But I should have known that there is always a price to pay for happiness.
VANDOR: I never thought to find a worthy mate within the barely tolerated human species on our planet, but when I lay eyes on Damaris, my world changes. She is not only beautiful but also witty and resourceful and soon I can't imagine a life without her.
Our planet is at war though and evil forces try to drive us apart.
I was ordered to marry her, but soon she is all I can think about.
She doesn't seem to like me, but soon she will realize that she is MINE.
CHRISSY: I came to the alien planet to liberate the enslaved humans, unfortunately I soon learn that things are not always what they seem. Falling for one of the handsome Thyre warlords is not part of the mission I set myself next—unfortunately Kendryx is not making resisting him easy.
KENDRYX: I have never met a merrily more obstinate or braver than Chrissy. From the moment I lay eyes on her I know she is my fated mate. When she sets her stubborn mind on a dangerous mission, I go with her—somebody has to protect her, even from herself. This will be my chance to convince her that she is MINE.
