Despite my grief, I made it to a strange, dangerous planet with the letter ready for them to read and my promise fulfilled to my dead friend.Having done what was asked of me, I expected to leave but, as my brother used to say, tell the universe your plans and watch it laugh at you.Now I’m stuck on a planet for six weeks where the veneer of civilization is easily wiped away, with four former Super Soldiers who don’t know quite what to do with me, and more danger every time I turn around.But there is something about them that calls to my soul, that makes me want to soothe them, and invites me to trust them in a way I never have anyone before. My life isn’t my own. I will have to go back to my own home and leave them behind, yet each day I know them the idea of doing that becomes even more unfathomable.My name is Raven. I’m just a girl lost on a strange world surrounded by danger, wondering why a planet I never knew existed can suddenly feel like home.*Please note, this book is the first in a new series called Super Soldiers. It is a spin off from the world created in a finished series called Wings of Artemis. However, no characters from Wings of Artemis will appear in these books. The events of these books take place 15 years after the end of Artemis, and on the other side of the galaxy. It will take two books for Raven to find her happily ever after (so don’t expect all things resolved at the end of this book) and book 3 will begin a new heroine.* less
