She fights for the freedom of her people. He fights for hers.

Kit is a Lucarn shapeshifter, taken captive at 10 years of age and sold into slavery to the rich men of the galaxy. 70 years later, she's on the run, a native of nowhere, discovered stowed away on a small starship. To Kit's surprise, the human Captain invites her to join his crew, curious to learn more about the mysterious woman. Danger lurks around every corner, however, as decillionaire Dantor Gretanius, dispatches his servants and hired mercenaries to hunt her down.

Dantor looked at the bottle of cognac in his hand and imagined being with her again, drinking in her form, and took another swig. If he closed his eyes, he could almost feel her in his arms, a beautiful wild thing that he would have the pleasure of taming once and for all.

'First thing's first,' he mused, 'I've got to get her away from the others.' Dantor was hell bent on leaving her only one choice: Kitania was going to get on his ship or people were going to die, and he knew just who to start with:

Her beloved Captain.

During their travels, Malcolm vows to do whatever he must to keep Kit safe, risking his life for a woman he knows next to nothing about. When it's revealed that Kit is the last living heir to the powerful clan House Grey, she must make a choice: keep on the run, or take on her role among her people and risk exposure. Dantor's relentless pursuit follows her from the core worlds to the far reaches of the galaxy, threatening to rip her away from everything she holds dear.

Kit's apprehension grows, and the stakes are clear: the closer she becomes to her new found family, the more she stands to lose. Can she reunite her scattered people, evade the pursuit of her cruel former master, and keep the man she loves safe from the hatred and jealousy of the man intent on her absolute possession?

If you enjoy deep characters with rich histories, motivations, and complex relationships, you'll love following Kit's adventure in the Native of Nowhere trilogy with its themes of trust and trauma recovery. A slow burn, no spice romance between Kit and the human Captain, Malcolm Orso, spans all three books, as he encourages her to step into her power and become all he knows she can be. Throw into the mix the intrigue of interspecies politics and the high stakes of losing, not only her freedom, but her very self, to Dantor's relentless pursuit, and feel the tension rise with each entry in the series.

Kit realizes that, if she is to keep the ones she loves safe from Dantor's murderous rage, she must face him head on once and for all. Kitania knows Malcolm would die for her, and she fears that if the evil human catches up to them... he just might.
