Die New-York-Times-Bestsellerautorin Dianne Duvall bringt ihren Lesern den dritten eigenständigen Roman aus einer spannenden neuen Science-Fiction-Liebesromanreihe voller Action, Humor und Happy End. Ava war schon immer anders. Sie wurde mit ausgeprägten telepathischen Fähigkeiten geboren und lebt ein sehr isoliertes Leben, bis ihr ein Job in einer obskuren Gesellschaft angeboten wird, einem Netzwerk, das mächtigen unsterblichen Wächtern bei ihrem Bestreben hilft, die Menschen vor den psychotischen Vampiren zu schützen, die sie jagen. Plötzlich fühlt sie sich nicht mehr so anders. Zum ersten Mal in ihrem Leben hat Ava einen Ort gefunden, an den sie gehört. Sie ist glücklich. Das Leben ist gut. Und als ihre Arbeitgeber sie einladen, mit einer Gruppe anderer Begabter und einer Handvoll unsterblicher Wächter auf eine Reise zu einem anderen Planeten zu gehen, ist das eine absolut fantastische Vorstellung. Kurz darauf rast sie an Bord eines lasaranischen Kriegsschiffs mit zwei erstaunlichen außerirdischen Rassen durch die Galaxie. Es ist der Traum ihres Lebens ... bis sie nach einem brutalen Angriff eines gemeinsamen Feindes Lasaras und der Erde allein in einer Rettungskapsel landet, ohne einen bewohnbaren Planeten in Sicht, mit nur einem Schiff in Reichweite: dem ihrer Feinde, die wissen wollen, warum das genmanipulierte Virus, das sie vor langer Zeit auf der Erde freigesetzt haben, die Menschheit nicht ausgelöscht hat, damit sie den Planeten in Besitz nehmen können. Jak'ri weiß nicht, wie lange er schon an Bord der Cebaun gefangen ist, aber er befürchtet, dass die kranken Experimente der Feinde sie bald zu einem Virus führen werden, der die Purveli ausrotten wird. Er ist verzweifelt, bis eine Frau von der Erde gefangen genommen wird und telepathisch mit ihm zu kommunizieren beginnt. Die Gabe, von der Ava sagt, dass sie ihr in der Vergangenheit so viel Leid bereitet hat, wird bald zu seiner Rettung, da die beiden schnell Freundschaft schließen. Entschlossen, sich gegenseitig von den Schrecken ihres Daseins als Gefangene abzulenken, verbringen sie die Tage in telepathischer Gesellschaft und suchen nachts in gemeinsamen Träumen Trost und Abenteuer. Während aus ihrer Freundschaft Liebe wächst, hecken die beiden einen gewagten Plan aus, um ihren Häschern zu entkommen. Aber der Feind wird sie nicht kampflos gehen lassen. Können Ava und Jak'ri gegen so viele Feinde bestehen und als Sieger hervorgehen?

Dive into the next thrilling novel in New York Times bestselling author Dianne Duvall's fast-paced, humorous, and adventure-filled Aldebarian Alliance series. Too many years of hunting psychotic vampires night after night have left Rachel with a desperate need for change. So when the opportunity to travel across the galaxy aboard a Lasaran warship to a utopian planet arises, the powerful Immortal Guardian jumps at the chance. Rachel eagerly looks forward to making a fresh start... until an enemy attacks and she ends up alone in an escape pod so far from alliance-occupied space that no one can hear her communications. No one except a renegade cyborg who shouldn't exist. After a grueling, hard-fought rebellion, Wonick and his cyborg brethren settled on a distant planet, where they've finally carved out a peaceful existence. The Aldebarian Alliance believes every Akseli cyborg died long ago. And battle-weary cyborg leader Wonick is determined to prevent anyone from discovering otherwise, knowing such would spark the fiercest manhunt in the galaxy. Yet when he hears Rachel's communications, temptation drives him to speak to her, sparking friendship and a longing for a very different future. Rachel finds Wonick even more appealing when she meets him in person, and the friendship they've formed soon deepens into love as the cyborgs-no more immune to her fun-loving, laughter-inducing nature than Wonick-cautiously welcome her into the fold. But the warriors' unbridled ability to collect intel uncovers a secret the enemy has guarded for decades, one that compels them to embark upon a mission fraught with danger. If they succeed, they may end the enemy's attempts to conquer the galaxy once and for all. If they fail, it could cost Wonick and Rachel everything. Note: This is a fast-paced science-fiction adventure packed with romance, edge-of-your-seat action, laughter-inducing humor, lovable secondary characters, and a HEA ending.

Every mortal who works at network headquarters knows that vampires reside below them. They were the first to surrender to the powerful Immortal Guardians who hunt them. And they did so, hoping they can be saved, that the doctors and scientists the Immortal Guardians employ can halt the progressive brain damage that robs all vampires of their sanity. Though curious, Emma never thought she would meet any of the vampires who remain under heavy guard several stories beneath her office. Then mercenaries strike, bombarding the building with heavy artillery. The vampires are freed to join the fray... and Cliff saves her life. From that moment on, she can't stop thinking about him regardless of the restrictions placed on interactions with vampires. When Emma discovers a way to speak to Cliff at network headquarters, she becomes even more fascinated by him. He's smart, charming, and honorable to his core despite the darkness that lies ahead. And he seems to crave her company as much as she does his. Aware of the eyes that watch them, they keep their encounters innocent, limiting them to those of mere acquaintances. Nevertheless, their attraction grows and she soon falls in love with him even as the madness begins to claim him. Cliff realizes his future is dark. As one vampire friend after another succumbs to insanity, hope that network doctors will be able to find a cure in time to keep him from meeting the same fate begins to dwindle, leaving him little to look forward to... until he meets Emma. Just speaking to her brings him a happiness and contentment he hasn't experienced since before his transformation. And when they finally find a way to be alone together, everything changes. Emma burrows her way right into his heart and quiets the voices. She sparks dreams of a future with her that strengthen his determination to beat back the madness. But as time passes, the voices grow louder and insanity begins to chip away at him until he fears it will eradicate every part of him she fell in love with.
