Cursed Alien Gladiator

Résumé du livre

I don't deserve her, but I'll risk everything to save her.

Lyra:

When pirates destroy my mining station, I think the worst that can happen is death. I'm wrong. Sold to the void arenas, I'm forced to fight alien warriors for the entertainment of the galaxy's elite. My only chance of survival lies with my cellmate—a massive, scarred Zephyran warrior who won't even meet my eyes.

Kael keeps to himself, speaks in clipped sentences, and radiates danger from his four powerful arms. But when the arena masters force us to fight as partners, I discover the truth. He's not just another exile. He's cursed—unable to touch another living being without causing excruciating pain.

For fifty years, he's been alone.

Kael:

Zephyra was meant to be my legacy, but I knew better. I'd always be a dishonored exile, and no way would I ever deserve the fierce little human who refuses to give up. Far from the floating cities of my birth, I plan to fight until death finally claims me.

Until one day, my new cellmate arrives and I find my entire worldview shift the first moment she challenges me with those dark eyes blazing with defiance.

Protecting her means disrupting the careful distance I've maintained for half a century. Still, I'll endure any agony to save her... and to convince her that some things are worth fighting for.
