Given to the Warrior

By Violet Star

She was the daughter of a cargo hauling smuggler, living her entire life aboard the spaceship Thunder Runner. Suffering in grief after space pirates attacked and killed her parents, she was now stranded on a tiny alien world full of savage natives. Faced with no family or home to return to, she had no choice but to make a new life for herself in a world entirely different to her own.

He was a mighty warrior on the primitive planet Ta'nai. Born during a tremendous thunderstorm and named for their God of thunder, he had proven himself to be one of the tribe's best and most feared Fasa . Burdened by grief, his soul mourned the loss of the woman he had loved deeply several winters ago, and he stubbornly refused to take another. Unwilling to open his battered heart to let another in again.

The arrival of the strange pale-skinned woman who fell down from the sky was seen by the Elders as a sign from the Gods. A special golden-haired gift from the Goddess, clearly intended to bring the sun's light back to the child-of-thunder whose sorrow left him wallowing in darkness. With the woman in need of a home and the warrior in need of a life partner, the Elders demanded he accept the opportunity that he had been given - lest the Gods be angered at his refusal.

Both unwilling, the two begrudgingly wed - Qiiraa, the offworlder who did not know their customs and could not speak their language, and Z , the hardened warrior who did not want her.
