Part 1 of the Aunare Chronicles series
From USA Today Bestselling Author Aileen Erin. In an all-too-plausible future where corporate conglomerates have left the world's governments in shambles, anyone with means has left the polluted Earth for the promise of a better life on a SpaceTech owned colony among the stars. Maité Martinez is the daughter of an Earther Latina and a powerful Aunare man, an alien race that SpaceTech sees as a threat to their dominion. When tensions turn violent, Maité finds herself trapped on Earth and forced into hiding. For over ten years, Maité has stayed hidden, but every minute Maité stays on Earth is one closer to getting caught. She's lived on the streets. Gone hungry. And found a way to fight through it all. But one night, while waitressing in a greasy diner, a customer gets handsy with her. She reacts without thinking. Covered in blood, Maité runs, but it's not long before SpaceTech finds her… Arrested and forced into dangerous work detail on a volcano planet, Maité waits for SpaceTech to make their move against the Aunare. She knows that if she can't somehow find a way to stop them, there will be an interstellar war big enough to end all life in the universe. There's only one question: Can Maité prevent the total annihilation of humanity without getting herself killed in the process?

Part 2 of the Aunare Chronicles series
From bestselling Author Aileen Erin comes the second book in the Aunare Chronicles
Broken, beaten-down, and plagued by nightmares, Amihanna di Aetes is surrounded by the Aunare race that makes up the other half of her heritage, but she feels alien amongst them. She's not sure which is worse: SpaceTech's overt hatred of Aunare or the Aunare's covert hatred of halfers. She hears their whispers whenever she enters a room and sees her death reflected in their eyes. Amihanna doesn't know who to trust anymore, but she hasn't survived this long by ignoring the warning signs all around her, especially when her instincts are screaming that a familiar choice is coming: flee or fight.
Her parents assure her everything is okay-that there won't be any reason for her to fight, let alone flee-but with Amihanna's sudden return, questions arise among the Aunare: who should be blamed for the start of a full-scale war with SpaceTech, how much danger will the war bring, and is Amihanna truly fit to be the next high queen?
Honestly, Amihanna wants to forget all the politics, her betrothal to Lorne, and the possibility of being queen. Her needs are much more basic. All she wants is a solid night's sleep where she doesn't wake up screaming with the phantom pain of her skin burning. All she needs is to live without fear of a mob tearing her away from her family. All she hopes for is a chance to dream of a future instead of constantly fighting for her right to live.
And yet, somehow, everything she does leads her back to Lorne. He always seems to know when she's about to break under the pressures of her new life. His quiet patience is wearing Amihanna's protective walls down, and she's terrified of what will happen if they fall.

In Command
by Aileen Erin
read by Shridhar Solanki, Frankie Corzo
Part 2.5 of the Aunare Chronicles series
Some days I wake up and can't believe that I'm on Sel'Ani.
I can't believe that I'm here and that I've fallen in love with the man from my dreams. I can't believe that I said yes to marrying him and becoming the High Queen of the Aunare. I want to stay in bed with him all day where we're safe from everything else that's happening, but saying yes and being in love with Lorne didn't make all our problems disappear.
The Aunare don't understand what SpaceTech is capable of.
They don't understand what happened on Earth thirteen years ago. They don't understand who I am and why anyone - especially their High King - thinks I should rule.
When they question what happened, what I lived through, all the horrors of Liberation Week - I want to scream at them until they realize how blind and ignorant they've been, but I can't. I can't let my anger and frustration take over. They don't understand what happened, and I need to find a way to make them understand.
The war with SpaceTech isn't coming. It's already here. And we are losing.
I might not be the High Queen they wanted, but if we want to win this war with SpaceTech, I'm the one they need.

On Mission

Part 3 of the Aunare Chronicles series
Sometimes my life doesn't feel real to me.
It's so different-infinitely better-than anything I had on Earth. I'm not running or hiding or afraid anymore. I'm not dealing with the trauma of my past. I'm not alone because I have Lorne. Every time I look into his eyes, everything else fades away-the war, the fight ahead, the fact that we have so much work to do if we want to win. I see him and I forget that SpaceTech is moving against us, but it's not just me I'm trying to save anymore. It's the Aunare.
And yet, the Aunare High Council isn't listening to a word I say.
I'm the only one who seems to understand the danger that we're up against, and that if we don't start acting soon, it'll be too late. I want to dissolve the High Council, but I'm not sure I should. I don't even know if I can. But I know that SpaceTech is closing in. Their war ships are stationed at the edges of our colonies' territory, and I can feel the fight growing closer every minute of every day.
The time for us to act is coming, and I'm not sure how much more politicking I can do. That's not who I am. It's not who I'm meant to be. I can only be a fighter. A warrior. A queen.
If no one else will fight with me, then I will do what I need to take down SpaceTech.
Because I'm Amihanna di Aetes, the future High Queen of the Aunare, and I won't quit. Not ever.
