A forbidden alien romance. A dangerous affair with an assassin. And a sinister plot that could bring an empire to its knees.
Since birth, Kit Mallory (Mallory Kit) has been a child of two worlds. As the prophesied offspring of an empiric queen and the figurehead of a rebel alliance, she was supposed to heal the wounds of a centuries-old political feud.
Years of running from the prophecy have caught up to Kit Mallory and fate is laughing at her through a blue-tinted lollipop. With a baby on board, her bounty is about to go from valuable to priceless. As if it wasn't hard enough dodging bounty hunters and armed geneticists, her father's people are now taking military action to eliminate her. For years, the Coalition failed to contain her DNA, which would supposedly bring about the next evolution for mankind. Fearing the devaluation of a viccenial investment, the Coalition has deemed Kit a traitor and an apostate. With access to the most advanced military force in the universe, they will stop at nothing to prevent her genes from ending up in enemy hands. Even if that means eliminating her. After getting tangled in a personal feud, Kit's effort to save one friend leads her into a dangerous world of gambling and blood sports. When underhanded deals leave her no choice but to reveal her identity or watch her friend die, Kit must finally decide if keeping her promise is more important than getting her way.
