She's done surviving-now she's ready to live.
After the crash of the generation ship, the survivors struggle to stay alive on the burning world of Tajss. The heat is relentless, the monsters deadly, and the underground refuge feels more like a cage than a haven. For Kate, being trapped under the rule of a cruel, self-appointed leader is the final straw. She risks everything to find a new beginning above the surface. He's given up on hope-until he finds her. Errol is a Zmaj craftsman haunted by loss. The other males have found their mates among the human women, but no spark stirs in him-until Kate. She's bold, stubborn, and far too human to be the treasure he's sworn he'd never seek again. Yet when fate throws them together, the fire between them burns hotter than the desert sun. As danger closes in and the ghosts of the past return, Kate and Errol must face their fears, their scars, and the bond that neither of them expected. On a dying world, love might be the only thing strong enough to build something new.
