A galaxy of enemies can't keep them apart.

Desperation drove Rom to jump through a transit portal, not knowing where the teleportation device would send him or even if he would survive the journey. The other Cygnian warriors in his prism have already bonded with their soulmates. Though they all assured him he would find his soulmate soon, it seemed obvious to Rom that he should be the one to take the risk. He knew something they didn't. Through all the months that the others had sensed their mates, Rom hadn't felt the slightest glimmer of her existence. Until now...

Hayley Addison has no idea how long she's been imprisoned in space. Her days are a drudgery of blank metal walls and horrible experiments performed on her by an evil Tau Ceti scientist named Norem. As much as she longs to escape, she won't chance it unless she can find a way to take along the two extraordinary friends she has made, fellow victims of Norem's experiments. When a giant blue alien appears out of thin air in Hayley's cell, she doesn't know whether to be terrified or hopeful. All she knows is that she's drawn to him in a way she's never experienced before. He doesn't even know his own name, but holds a key to her past that makes her want to trust him.

Can Rom and Hayley find their way to love and escape from the treacherous clutches of the Tau Ceti? And if they do, will they fall into the hands of an even greater threat?
