Claimed By the Vykan

Morgan Halden has every advantage money can buy—but none of the freedom she wants.

As the heiress to a global data-security empire, her life has been arranged for her down to the finest detail: the career, the marriage, the future she is expected to step into without protest. During a suffocating dinner meant to push her toward an engagement she never agreed to, she mutters something reckless under her breath: “I’d rather be abducted by aliens.” She never imagined anyone—or anything—would take her seriously.

Morgan Halden has every advantage money can buy—but none of the freedom she wants.

As the heiress to a global data-security empire, her life has been arranged for her down to the finest detail: the career, the marriage, the future she is expected to step into without protest. During a suffocating dinner meant to push her toward an engagement she never agreed to, she mutters something reckless under her breath: “I’d rather be abducted by aliens.” She never imagined anyone—or anything—would take her seriously. But after the Luxar incident, Earth was seeded with silent monitors designed to detect the rarest signal of all: a human expressing willingness to leave. Morgan’s impatient remark is flagged as consent, and before she can retract it, she is gone. She wakes on Vyranth, a world of drifting mist and uncanny stillness, surrounded by the Saelori—a persecuted, guarded people who treat her with a strange mix of courtesy and distance. They follow one command above all: prepare her and deliver her to the one who summoned her. They call him the Vykan—one of the Seven protectors of their world, a masked figure spoken of only in formal titles and carefully controlled tones. No one will tell her what he is. No one will tell her why he asked for her. Only that she is expected.

Morgan never meant to volunteer.

Now she must face the being who summoned her—and understand why he chose her, before his venom decides the rest for her.
