Book Description:
Elora
Pertin spent her life trying to please her father, an
esteemed
General for the Empire.
When
he convinced her to leave her quiet life as a scientist to
advance a
secret project for the Emperor, she had no idea what she was
getting
into. The seemingly innocent projects she engineered were
actually
being used to develop a genocidal weapon. After uncovering the
Emperor’s plot, Elora had no choice but to
act.
Elora
finds herself fighting for her life against the Empire she
once
served, abandoning everything with only a handful of friends
and an
unlikely ally—the Emperor’s deadliest assassin. Will he
prove
himself true as her protector, a loyal servant of the
Empire, or a
romantic distraction? With the law and assassins searching
the star
system for them, Elora and her team are determined to
accomplish
their mission . . . or die trying.
Excerpt
One:
Back
in her room, Elora tried to come up with another plan. If
her father
couldn’t—or
wouldn’t—help,
she had to find someone else. Just finishing and going home
was not
an option. She tried to focus on the weapon, but was
preoccupied with
thoughts of her father. What was he involved with? How could
he
involve her in the development of an illegal weapon? He had
been her
rock and best friend since her mom died when she was so
young. If she
couldn’t trust her dad, whom could she
trust?
She
had just closed her eyes to practice the meditative
techniques she
learned on Naruta when she was suddenly pulled out of bed to
her
feet. She felt the strong arms of a man on either side of
her head.
Instinctively, she tried to jerk his arms away because she
was sure
he was about to break her neck. Her head was pulled so far
to one
side she could feel the muscles in her neck tearing apart.
Then he
stopped.
Elora
could barely see the mirror in her peripheral. The man’s
black
monochromatic attire made him hard to see in the dark room,
but she
could make him out against her body. He was tall with shaggy
dark
hair, slightly curly on the ends. He had a strong jaw, and
as she
moved up his face, she saw he was looking at her in the
mirror. His
eyes were dark—almost as black as his clothes. Just as
suddenly as
he pulled her out of bed, he released
her.
