“Life support systems are down,”
Stegian
said, remaining calm in the face of certain death.
“I can try to land it,”
Yunoc
, the
young male shifter who was doing his best to pilot the vessel, said. “At our
excepted rate of entry and with the velocity we are traveling at, there is a
good chance we could burn up in the atmosphere.”
“Do your best,” said
Stegian
,
bracing himself in the co-pilot chair. A planet came into view and
Yunoc
focused on aiming the craft in that direction. “No
promises.”
A natural leader,
Stegian
was
often who the people aboard the spaceship turned to. He’d been instrumental in
negotiations with the humans on Earth and had done his best to prevent anymore
loss of lives due to ignorance and fear of
supernaturals
.
“Try to land us.”
He sucked in a hasty breath and prepared for rapid decent.
It came with a vengeance. He was thrown free of the pilot area and slammed face
first into a wall. Pain exploded throughout him, and he was fairly certain he’d
broken multiple bones, and they hadn’t even impacted yet. It came with a
shuddering, thundering thud and all around him went black for a moment.
Stegian
pushed off of the unforgiving inner shell of the vessel he’d been banished to
one year prior. The smell of smoke and charred remains coated the area. While
he didn’t quite know the extent of injuries on the ship, his senses told him
they were grave and many. As if the ship’s crew hadn’t been through enough
already.

Dragon Lords 1: The Barbarian Prince
by
Michelle M. Pillow
Futuristic
Romance
Breaking up was never so hard...
Going
undercover at Galaxy Brides as one of the prospective mates to these
Viking-like barbarians,
Morrigan
has no intention of
getting chosen to stay. But when
Ualan
of the
Draig
picks her to be his wife with the aid of his
mystically glowing crystal, it is all she can do to say no.
Waking
up from a drug-induced night of torturous and unfulfilling pleasures,
Morrigan
discovers her spaceship has left without her and
Ualan
is claiming she is his wife. It’s not exactly the
story this reporter had in mind. And to make matters worse,
Ualan
refuses to take no for an answer.
Being cursed by the Gods was
never so frustrating...
Prince
Ualan
is like all others of his race on the male dominated
planet of Qurilixen. He is raised to trust the mystic powers around him and
when it comes time to marry, he is ready to follow those powers to choose his
life mate. When the stubborn, yet achingly beautiful,
Morrigan
refuses to accept their shared fate and his supreme authority over her, it is
all he can do not to break her lovely neck.
