Stranded. Pregnant. Hunted. Falling for a deadly alien shaman was not in my birth plan.

Nala

I woke in a glowing coffin, belly heavy, panic clawing at my throat. Then he appeared—white scales, golden eyes, and a voice like velvet over steel. He saved me… but I don’t know if I can trust anyone, not after what the Krektar did.

I just want to protect my baby. That’s it. But the Krektar aren’t gone—they survived the crash, and they want me back. Artek says I’m his fated mate. I say I need a weapon.

But this world holds more than beasts and ruins. Ancient secrets stir. Nala and her child are part of what’s to come—and I will stand between them and every shadow that rises.
