New York Times and USA Today best-selling author S. E. Smith brings another action-, adventure-, and suspense-filled story to transport listeners out of this world.
Merrick Ta’Duran is the powerful leader of the Eastern Mountain Clan on the Prime world of Baade. His people, known as the Ghosts of the Forests, live high in the Eastern Mountains. Merrick feels the weight of responsibility as the males within his clan become desperate to find mates among the few remaining females. When word comes that a new species has been discovered, he knows he must do what is right for his people, even if it means traveling to a strange alien realm to do it.
Merrick’s world changes when he is injured and captured by a ruthless group of humans. Drugged and held against his will, he is the subject of experiments and testing as the humans try to discover where he came from and to duplicate his strength and ability to heal quickly. After months of captivity, he fears his life will end on the strange world – until one chance encounter gives him hope.
Addie Banks’ life has been one of silence since a devastating illness when she was 16. Determined to stand on her own two feet, she goes to school during the day and works at night to put herself through college. Her life unexpectedly changes when she stumbles across something she wasn’t supposed to see while at work. Now she hears a voice in her head, and it is driving her crazy. Her only hope for peace is to help the creature talking to her to escape from the men holding him.
Merrick knows the female who helps him is his bond mate. She may deny it. She may fight it. She may even try to run from it, but it won’t matter. She is his, and he will do everything he can to convince her: hold her or even kidnap her if that is what it takes to make her realize that they belong together.
Will Addie hear the love and longing in Merrick’s voice? Can she trust and accept the new life he has to offer? Or will a ruthless killer silence him before she gets a chance?
Great author Oaky I don’t agree with the other reviewers. I love this series but this is my least favorite of the 5 so far. Sorry it was just missing something for me. I love this author and will continue to buy her books as no matter what I felt about the rating 3-5 I do enjoy her stories and cant wait for more.
needs to be pulled and rewritten Okay, so here you are, a prisoner, and someone offers to help you escape, and what is your response; no its okay, I will wait to be rescued because someone else has already offered to help.Talk about stupid! The books in this series may not be the best books ever written, but they are at least entertaining and fun to read – this one missed the mark completely. I do not recommend this book, the story line just does not work – instead of Merrick coming across as an experienced soldier and leader,…
