He is the warrior who teaches her she does not have to carry survival alone.
Rosalind has held the human survivors of Tajss together with strategy, sacrifice, and iron control.
As Lady General aboard the generation ship, she was trained to think three moves ahead. On the red desert world where their ship crashed, that skill is the only reason the ancient city of Draconov still stands. Food is short. Water is political. Gershom is turning fear into power. The newly discovered Tribe of Zmaj could be the future of both species, or the spark that tears everything apart.
Rosalind cannot afford weakness.
She especially cannot afford Visidion.
The massive Zmaj leader is brilliant, controlled, maddeningly perceptive, and far too good at seeing the cracks Rosalind hides from everyone else. He wants an alliance between City and Tribe. She wants guarantees. He sees the tremors in her body, the exhaustion behind her composure, and the lonely woman beneath the commander’s armor.
She tells herself he is a political problem.
Her heart knows better.
Then the Zzlo attack.
Rosalind and Visidion are captured together, dragged off Tajss, and sold into the brutal gladiator arenas of Krik. Their titles mean nothing there. Their plans mean nothing. Survival means chains, training yards, blood-soaked sand, and fighting back-to-back while enemies bet on how long they will last.
Rosalind has spent her life leading from the front.
Visidion refuses to let her die there.
Forced into captivity with the one male who challenges her mind as fiercely as he protects her body, Rosalind has to face the truth she has avoided for too long. Trust is not weakness. Desire is not surrender. And letting Visidion stand beside her may be the only way to save everyone waiting back on Tajss.
But escape is only the beginning.
The Zzlo threat is growing. The City and Tribe are still divided. Gershom is waiting to strike. And if Rosalind wants a future for her people, she will have to risk the one thing she has never trusted anyone else to hold.
Her heart.
