Beyond Reality's Edge - Volume 5: A SciFi Odyssey and Love Story (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798306885902)

She is ancient darkness wrapped in human skin. She is terrified of herself. And the only thing standing between her and the abyss is a Naronian warrior who refuses to let go.

He knew what she was when he married her. Brave. Fierce. Stubborn. Extraordinary in ways neither of them had words for yet.

He didn't know what was hiding inside her.

She barely knew herself - not really, not until she was forced to see it clearly for the first time. The ancient power growing since the day she arrived in this world. The hunger feeding quietly on every battle, every wound, every choice she made to protect the people she loves. Something that wants nothing more than to be let loose - fully, completely, without the tether of the woman it lives inside.

The tether is him.

His love is the only thing in the universe that keeps the darkness at bay. She knows it. He knows it. And something ancient and impossibly patient is watching them both - waiting for the day he isn't there.

But Dax is not going anywhere.

Not when enemies come for their children. Not when a fleet of warships points itself at everything she loves. Not when she spends five brutal weeks alone, fighting battles no one will ever fully know the cost of. He is there at the end of every war she survives - steady, immovable, looking at her like she is still the woman he chose.

She is not just a warrior anymore. She is something the galaxy has never encountered - ancient power wearing a human face, straining against the leash she keeps on herself with everything she has. The longer she uses what's inside her, the harder it is to come back.

Because it's growing.

And when Altoy's obsession crosses every line - when a fleet of warships points itself at everyone she loves - she is going to have to let it out.

All of it.

And pray that he can bring her back.

Beyond Reality's Edge - Volume 5 is the volume where the stakes become intimate in the most devastating way - and where a love that was always extraordinary reveals exactly how extraordinary it truly is. Steamy, fierce, and breathtaking.

The darkness wants her. He won't let it have her. Not while he's breathing.
