To walk the path of a morazir, I will exist in three states of being: Untouched. Untaken. Unconquered.

Airik, a battle-scarred warrior serving the cruel intergalactic empire of the Veynari, craves silence from the nightmares tormenting his mind. But while on post to decommission a failed experiment of a planet, a rogue human spacecraft crashes, and a reckless decision leaves him stranded-entangled with a woman he never should have saved.

Nora wakes light-years from Earth, broken in body and spirit, at the mercy of an alien soldier who refuses to let her die. Devastatingly beautiful, terrifyingly competent, and bound by a warrior's oath that permits touch only to destroy, he's the reluctant guardian angel she neither wants nor believes she deserves.

Trapped together, they're forced to navigate a brutal landscape, vicious beasts, and the deadly remnants of an abandoned world. Duty demands Airik's cold indifference. Yet Nora sparks something deliciously alive-and entirely forbidden-within him. What begins as necessity ignites a primal hunger: scorching, consuming, and impossible to resist.

But even if they survive, the Veynari-ever present and ruthless-won't allow its warriors weakness like love. For Airik and Nora to be together, they must risk everything.

The Wildborn is a steamy, high-stakes sci-fi romance featuring forced proximity with an emotionally repressed alien protector who falls hard. Perfect for fans of Zoey Draven's immersive world-building, the dark emotional complexities of Victoria Aveline's Ruling Sikthand, and the lyrical storytelling of Grace Draven.
