Description

A forbidden romance blossoms between a human combat surgeon and an alien military commander as they fight together for peace in this thrilling space epic.

A prophecy foretold: 

Three years after the unprovoked attack on a peaceful colony, the war between the Rojok dynasty and the Tri-Galaxy Fleet rages on. Born of that war is the Morcai Battalion, a fleet comprised of Centaurians and humans—the first collaboration of its kind and a step toward an intergalactic alliance. But the fragile union is tested as their courageous commander in chief, Dtimun, is faced with the temptation of the forbidden—and human—Dr. Madeline Ruszel. 

A combat surgeon, Ruszel is aware of the danger of inciting a Centaurian’s interest, even if he is the most intriguing of men. Besides putting their mission at risk, personal relations between their kinds are still outlawed. But a prophecy that touches on both their lives and the future of all alien nations hints that a greater unity may be theirs for the taking . . . if they, and their crew, survive in the battle for peace.
