And this are just the opening credits... Eliza Ross seems unable to catch a break. To begin with, Earth is invaded and there’s no stopping to the spree of human-snatching. Then, just as she thinks she’s evaded capture and everything will revert to normal, the aliens decide to bomb the entire planet on their way out.Against all odds, she survives.

After all, after the tragedy of the Dark Dissent and the incessant search of potential mates, a compatible species was found.

Rich girl. Slave. Leader. Aide. Traitor. Savior.  A lot of labels to describe Avery Jones. But to save the one she loves, she has to leave them all behind and teach others to do the same. She has to show the entire Union Of The Dozen Races what a romance without labels looks like. For Tintrosti is someone completely different. Someone most people don't even see as a person, but as a thing. He's a Rendition.  Organics and Bionics don't mix... moreRich girl. Slave. Leader. Aide. Traitor. Savior.  A lot of labels to describe Avery Jones. But to save the one she loves, she has to leave them all behind and teach others to do the same. She has to show the entire Union Of The Dozen Races what a romance without labels looks like. For Tintrosti is someone completely different. Someone most people don't even see as a person, but as a thing. He's a Rendition.  Organics and Bionics don't mix. That's the universal truth, the unwritten law within the Union. Even Tin himself calls her foolish for believing otherwise, for even the friendship they share seems wicked. Being the designated therapist on the Colony and one of the four leaders is not enough for Avery Jones. She longs for adventure, even if her thrill-seeking nature is what landed her in the Arru'Thal's clutches in the first place. Just as she becomes restless, Tintrosti shows up in her life with a new challenge.He lures her away from the human Colony, promising he’ll show her the entire Union Space Territory. And at the end of the trip, she’d get to put herself in danger as she helps in saving more enslaved humans. What more could Avery want?Right? Right. Except she has no idea the shuttle she’s boarding is full of Rebel Renditions. Or that Tin will betray her. Or that the mission they wish her to accomplish has no silver lining. Perhaps her adventurousness has reached its limits.Wrong. This is just the beginning. A/N:  Science fiction adventure romance (non-erotic), with space opera elements. The second installment in the Interstellar Hereafter series and the first human-Rendition romance. A story about gains and about choices, a story that propels severe changes in the Union. less

From the Thirteen Races' side of the universe comes another story. A love story. Somewhat unconventional. Between a human woman and the Tul-Khamin Prince of The People, his Prime Dagger and his advisor… Nobody knows much about Alyssa Morgan. People steer clear of her. Because she’s crazy. Because she doesn’t speak. Because she reminds them of the traumas they all faced. It's been six months since Alyssa arrived at the Colony. And it made little difference to her... moreFrom the Thirteen Races' side of the universe comes another story. A love story. Somewhat unconventional.
