The Lost and Unwanted

A lost combat pilot.

Lieutenant Taianna Martin hasn’t been the same since a devastating crash nearly two years ago stole her left arm and, worse, her edge. The arm was easily replaced with a bionic prosthetic, but whatever it was that made her a good combat pilot is still missing. Not knowing when, or if, it will ever return, she has been doing solo scouting missions. The boring but simple task takes an unexpected turn when the enemy surprises her, and she is shot down over a mysterious and hidden planet.

Injured but relatively intact, Tai is cut off from the Fleet and alone until a gentle giant comes to her aid.

The unwanted son of a queen.

Saibo, hunter of the Northern Forest on Allermaren, has been raised in a culture where women rule and men are all but worthless, him more than most. He has been deemed undesirable, too large to be suitably sold for a Bonding, too meek to be an effective warrior for the guard. Subject to the whims of sadistic noblewomen called Shyas, he finds solace in the forest, away from the ruthless punishments he is often forced to endure by the command of his own mother, the queen.

Unwanted and alone, Saibo never expects anything to change until an intriguing stranger crashes into his forest and treats him like he matters.

Their love will change his world.

Accidentally bound together, Saibo and Tai struggle to survive the machinations of a wicked world. As they learn about each other, 1,000-year-old secrets come to light that threaten to destroy Allermarenian society.

Or possibly save it.

Content warnings: Allermaren is a world run by sadistic noblewomen called Shyas. Although there is no abuse between the hero and heroine, (only steamy love scenes!), there are many instances of torture, abuse, and rape throughout the story. Intended for mature audiences.
