Freedom is a fantasy-but revenge is forever. Sonya tells herself she wants freedom-that she only dreams of returning to her homeworld. But the truth burns hotter and darker. She wants revenge. The problem? Zlata stands in her way. Once a captive like Sonya, Zlata clawed her way to become queen of the Hameji star clan-and now she keeps Sonya as her slave. But as the Valdamar Clan rises to threaten everything Zlata has built, the queen faces a brutal dilemma: rival wives circling for power, a warlord husband who needs an heir, and a dangerous solution that will force her to use Sonya in ways neither woman expected.
In the ruthless game of Hameji clan politics, captivity takes many forms-and freedom may cost more than either woman can pay.
