Eris Ember traded Earth for the stars to save her friend from a fate worse than death. But in the cold vacuum of deep space, she is merely a pawn.
When Eris takes her friend's place as a ward for the formidable space commander Lorkin, she finds herself bound to a man shrouded in a supernatural spell—a captive Beast with the power to enslave worlds. The only way to break his curse is through a love Eris has no intention of giving.
But Lorkin isn't her only threat. Eris is trapped aboard a vessel where the ruthless desires of the antagonist, Thenia, outweigh the lives of the crew. On this ship, life is expendable, and Thenia’s hunger for power is absolute.
Caught between the requirements of Lorkin’s curse and Thenia’s systematic torture, Eris must harness a power that defies her human limits. As she prepares for a battle of wills that will test the very limits of her spirit, she realizes that breaking the spell might be her only path to survival.
