Kren argues for Jeannie's life with an elder.
Kren’s protest was quiet but hot. “She is different
from us. We cannot gauge her by our parameters.”
“She is more similar than not.” Mekay tried to
reassure him. “Be of joy on that account. It will support her case.”
He appeared calm. Certain. Yet Kren still feared
for Jeannie’s sake. What if the council or Assembly decided Jeannie was not of
the Spirit? What if they thought she was an invention of the enemy?
He could not imagine going against the Assembly,
that body of learned and wise elders. Yet he also could not imagine allowing
Jeannie to be harmed if judgment went against her. Both ideas were
unfathomable. His loyalty was being tested and he had no idea which side he
would fall on if the unthinkable happened.

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.
