He sees the woman his dragon would cross any desert to keep.
Olivia was not built for Tajss.
At least, that is what she tells herself every time the heat steals her breath, the sand drags at her feet, and the other survivors seem stronger, faster, and better suited to life on a deadly alien planet. She survived the crash. She survived the broken generation ship. She even survived being swept into the chaos of a hidden Zmaj Tribe and a desperate march across the desert.
Then the Zzlo strike.
The transport is destroyed. Human survivors are taken. Friends vanish into the hands of alien slavers. And Olivia is left staring at the wreckage, feeling helpless, guilty, and utterly lost.
Ragnar sees something else.
The huge Zmaj hunter does not see a burden. He sees softness, courage, stubbornness, and a treasure worth protecting. Olivia may think she is the weakest person on Tajss, but Ragnar's dragon knows better. She is the one female who makes his lonely life feel like it could become more than hunting, fighting, and survival.
When a brutal sandstorm separates them from the others, Ragnar carries Olivia to safety. Alone together in the desert, with no shared language and danger closing in, they learn each other one word, one touch, and one kiss at a time.
For the first time, Olivia feels chosen.
For the first time, Ragnar wants a future.
But Tajss does not give love gently.
Guster attack from beneath the sand. Olivia falls into hidden tunnels. Ragnar nearly dies protecting her. And when they finally make it back to Draconov, the fragile hope of uniting the City and the Tribe shatters under old fear, old politics, and one man's betrayal.
Olivia ends up trapped behind the city dome.
Ragnar is on the other side.
Separated by inches of ancient glass and miles of human fear, they will have to fight for more than each other. If the survivors, the City, and the Tribe cannot learn to stand together, Tajss will take everything they have left.
Olivia thought she was too weak for this world.
Ragnar is ready to prove she is strong enough to become his home.
