Clans of Europa: Tina Now on Sale

 

When a Dramok loves a woman...

He was in love. He wanted to tell her. He wanted to scream it at everyone he saw. The right situation hadn’t yet arrived, since the site was still working out the logistics of evacuating its corner of Washington’s outlying areas. Most days ended just in time for Tukui to eat dinner and fall into exhausted sleep.

He was in love with his Matara, but Tukui couldn’t bear to voice it. Tina deserved better than him blurting it out as they scrambled to get ready for another day. Even the few times they’d snatched to make love hadn’t been quite suitable. He didn’t want her getting the idea such a proclamation was voiced simply because he’d enjoyed an interlude of sex.

No, he needed the proper atmosphere. Maybe when things settled down and they could catch their breath, the clan could take her to a scenic location. They could be romantic, with a picnic meal near the seashore. Or on a mountain. Somewhere nice. Somewhere special. Then he’d speak the words that had burned themselves into his heart, and she’d know he meant them with every fiber of his being.

His perfect moment would arrive. Until that magical instant, life was good despite its hectic pace. Tukui thought he might even be sorry when he had to leave Earth.

To be loved is all Tina ever wanted. She never dreamed her prayers would be answered by the enemy.

Aspirant Tina Novak, living on Europa’s convent colony, has no place to call her own. First rejected by her father, now being sent away by Mother Superior, where can a young woman with no prospects go?

The question is delayed by a Kalquorian invasion that takes the aspirants and nuns prisoner. The enemy Kalquorians are teetering on the brink of an extinction disaster, and Earther women are always welcome spoils of war.

Chosen by the young and ambitious clan of Dramok Tukui, Imdiko Yorso, and Nobek Osopa, Tina can’t imagine what her shattered future might bring. When she discovers the gentler side of the fierce Kalquorians, her fear of them becomes fear of losing them.

Can it last? Or will they turn her away in the end, as everyone else has? When the war reaches its unthinkable, violent end, Earther and Kalquorian alike find their lives altered forever. With the lives of Tina’s most vulnerable family members at stake, she and Clan Tukui must set aside what they thought they wanted and embrace what’s possible.
