Not of This World: The Enemy at the Gates






The Risnarish's ancient enemy, the Monsuda, have sent their robotic drones to penetrate the village boundaries.




Kren and Arga joined the men gathered near the barrier. Nex gave them the report on the Monsudan drones sighted in the woods on the other side.

“Monitors verify they’ve been lurking nearby. A couple came right up to the shield, which was when they were sighted. They fell back at our approach.”

Bort snarled, showing sharp canines. “They know better than to try our defenses. What are they up to?”

Kren had already decided to tell them everything. Their lives depended on him, and he was not about to shortchange his men. “I suspect they may be after Jeannie.”

He was her savior, but she was his salvation.

Jeannie Gardner escapes from her captors’ clutches only to find herself trapped on a planet far from Earth. When she is discovered by a muscle-bound warrior, she must prove to him, and the Council of Elders, that she is not a creature set free from a lab, but a sentient being from another planet.

If she succeeds, they will send her home. If she fails, she will be executed.

Risnar warrior Kren Bolep is duty bound to protect his village from the Monsuda and their creations. But this small pink-skinned female is different, special. As the bond between them grows, Jeannie’s vulnerability invokes Kren’s protective instincts, and he vows to uncover the truth and secure her future.

But there is a bigger threat looming. The Monsuda are coming to get Jeannie, and they’ll use whatever means necessary. When Jeannie is taken, Kren is forced to choose—disobey the Elders and place his people in danger, or lose the only person who makes him feel whole.
