They never saw it coming.In a moment of peril, Princess Laoonica's innate powers, those of creation and chaos, ignite in a fiery inferno, killing everyone onboard the passenger ship that's transporting her to safety -- into hiding from the Raspites. Laoonica is the only survivor, and she knows someone has betrayed her.Among those who rescue Laoonica from her blackened ship is Lieutenant Patrick Wolf. His attentions spark new emotions in Laoonica, flaring her unstable powers and endangering the lives of her rescuer's crew. Laoonica demands to be sent to an isolated planet so she can't harm anyone else, so the Raspites can't use her as a weapon -- because it's better to be alone than owned. But an argumentative council isn't convinced.Laoonica knows one sure way to control her powers and take fate into her own hands, by giving herself to Patrick -- mind, body, and soul. Her sacrifice comes with a horrible price, but she doesn't trust the council to do as she asks. She only hopes she can trust Lieutenant Wolf.Love, lies, and family ties are all broken in this science fiction tale of romance.
