Surviving Anstey: A Story Of Love Through Time And Space (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781838109509)

How would you feel - the you who believed you were the child of earthborn parents - if the stranger who rescued you from the sea told you to "pretend to be human...?"

What would you do if ... you were entirely alone and he promised to save you from the darkness that was, and is, Anstey - if you would only bind your life to his?

Would you trust him enough to share his mind and his bed? Forgive his anger? Risk your life to save his when you discover that the destructive alien power of your mind is far greater than his will ever be?

Fleeing from war in the Auriga Constellation, alien refugees travel through a rift in time and space to a secret location in planet Earth's distant history. Exploiting the rush to escape the conflict, Anstey, the vicious leader of the exiles, forces those who accompany him to sign away their lives in work contracts that bind them and their children to him indefinitely. Those who try (and fail) to escape are imprisoned in a complex beneath the cliffs of 16th century Devon, used as slaves and wait for death to ease their misery.

It is here that Kat meets Thomas and their perilous adventure begins. One born on earth, one born on the far side of the galaxy, they are linked by the strange blue swirls that mark their skin and reveal their shared heritage.

If they want to survive they must join forces.

Will Kat's strength be enough for both of them when Anstey strikes at Thomas?

Thomas willingly sacrifice his own life to save hers?

Find out in this gripping first book of a trilogy - a poignant and passionate story of love where speculative sci-fi meets Elizabethan England with catastrophic consequences.
