She stole a life to save her own. He’s the only warrior who knows her secret. Ariel is a brilliant engineer trapped in the wrong body. After four years of exile on a planet that treats women as property, she makes a desperate choice: she steals the identity of a high-ranking human officer to find her way home. Now aboard the starship Zoastra, Ariel must play the part of a woman she doesn’t know—and a wife to a man she’s never met. But there is one obstacle she didn’t count on: Major Cross. A surly, honorable security officer with a dark past, Cross is the only one who senses the truth behind her stolen eyes. As an ancient enemy—the mysterious Grays—begins a campaign of galactic destruction, Ariel and Cross must form a fragile alliance.
