Erato Hayden

She had always been interested in exotic places and extraterrestrial biology. But not like this, never like this. How could Zara have known that humanity's First Contact would end with her abducted by extraterrestrial slavers and cast alone into an uncaring galaxy? Purchased and sold by aliens, unable to communicate with anyone, her life becomes a constant game of charades. Out of this darkness, an impossible connection with an unexpected protector opens the galaxy to her in a way that no one could have expected.
