In a universe of despair, trust is the hardest thing to find.

Ive spent my life as a prized possession, valued only for the high my singing crystals can induce. I’ve lost my freedom, my identity, and even my voice. Now that Ive escaped, Ill do anything to avoid being caught again—even if it means hiding deep in the underbelly of a strange spaceship, where thirst, hunger, and fear are my constant companions.
When a kind human discovers me, Im faced with a choice. Keep running, or take a chance on freedom?

Kidnapped from Earth and rescued from slavery, Im still struggling to find my place in this vast galaxy. As the Supernovas makeshift medic, Im desperate to prove my worth among a crew of former elite soldiers. But when I discover a stowaway—a poor female frightened beyond reason, with eyes that sparkle like amethysts and skin that shimmers like starlight—I realize some things are more important than fitting in.
Can I convince her to trust me before my crew discovers her presence? And what will I do if they do?
