About this ebook

Ben and Aaron Cooper’s life had never been one of ease. Deserted by their mother and raised by a drunken father, they fought to survive on the Kansas farm where their father worked. Life deals them a horrendous twist when they are kidnapped by an alien trader and sold. Ben, the oldest by sixteen months, convinces the aliens who enslave them that he and Aaron will die if they are separated. It is the only way he can think of to keep them together and protect his younger brother.


The next fifteen years prove to be the most challenging of their lives. They do what they have to in order to survive. They are convinced their time has come to an end when the freighter they are on is attacked by a species known for their lust for blood and killing.


Evetta and Hanine Marquette are Marastin Dow; a species whose leaders thrive on living in the old ways where only the strongest, most ruthless are allowed to live. The life expectancy for most Marastin Dow is short, especially on one of the warships that all Marastin Dow, male or female, are expected to serve a mandatory service. Advancement usually comes by murder.


Evetta and Hanine want a different life and work together to stay alive in the hopes of finding a life away from the constant threat of death. Life changes for them when they encounter two strange and unusual alien males.


When the males’ lives are endangered, there is only one thing these warrior women can do to save them... run!

What an intense story! Smith mixes action with adventure and genuine people with emotions in this quick yet rewarding read. The plot is suspenseful and wrought with danger. She also developed a romance so hot that I think I saw steam coming from my ereader at one point. I enjoyed this look at the culture and beliefs of the Marastin Dow & the growing resistance of the few. I found this beginning in the shift of a cultural paradigm almost as intriguing as the fantastic character that Smith has falling in love throughout the tale. This is one of those rare tales that had me so captivated throughout that I have very few words to express it now. It’s both a brilliant intro into Smith’s work and the perfect segue into a new and demanding culture

i was introduced to the author with abducting abby. so i followed Ariel Trisha, Carmen and Cara to Valdier. great stories, great writing. I read the Alliance series several times. every spin off book was fantastic. I delayed reading Touching Rune for two years i just knew i would bawl my eyes out. Magic New Mexico gave me my laugh back while Rivers run left me hoping for more. Hints,mysteries and intrigue link stories that entertain you. I want the Mariston dow to get their own series. Traders, pirates, bug people and asteroid mines. Did i mention the circus and the crystal ship? follow SESmith for wild adventure amazing heroines and great reads.

Loved it just like all the rest of her books! Engaging and happy to see the tie in to "Dragon Lords of Valdier " in the last bit. Go ahead, read this.
