Six on Sunday - PAYA, Tarakka Book 1, a Dark Sci-Fi Romance

 

Six paragraphs from PAYA, Tarakka, Book 1, a dark sci-fi romance.

1. “Take just the stunners, not the disrupters,” Ivan ordered. “In case we’re accosted by any of the locals, palm your weapons. Don’t display them, or they’ll be taken as threats. The last thing we need is for these aboriginals to think we’re the bad guys.”

2.  The impact was worse than horrific. The pain was indescribable, enveloping and infusing him from head to foot. Every nerve burned. The blood in his veins and arteries boiled. His heart rate tripled, and breathing was nearly impossible. He couldn’t move, couldn’t think, couldn’t do anything in those handful of seconds when the rays slammed into them.

3. “You don’t have to say anything. I’ll do all the talking,” Paya declared. “That way, if the truth does come out, you can tell them… Dralk it.” Lifting her wings, she perched her hands on her hips and used her authoritative voice. “I hereby order you not to say a word about Ivan and his men or their ship. If the Docents learn the truth, you can tell them I ordered you not to say anything about it.”

4. She glanced at the man helping to keep her erect. At least she believed he was a man. He looked more like a Kuu male but without the wings. And his skin was… She lightly squeezed his arm. He threw a small smile at her and squeezed back. He said something she didn’t understand, yet she did. He was reassuring her. It wasn’t so much the words but how he said them. The sound of his voice. His tone. The expression on his face.

5. Roy slid the ship into place with less than a handful of seconds to spare. The Ya fired in a blistering pass over them, the whine from the ray nearly deafening. The ship vibrated like it had been hit with a small earthquake. At the same time, it was knocked from its static hover and began plummeting toward the planet’s surface. Under Roy’s expert hands, the vessel leveled off less than a kilometer from the ground, leaving the crew with roiling stomachs. On the side monitors they could see the central portion of the town had been spared, but the outskirts were decimated. As the townspeople realized what was happening, they took to the air in fear and panic to escape certain death and devastation.

6. She already missed the feel of his arms around her, and the revelation shook her to the core. Normally, she abhorred a male’s touch. Now more than ever. Yet, Ivan’s touch was different. It didn’t bother her when his hand stroked her. Or when his arms held her.

Tired of sitting back while their borders are being attacked regardless of peace treaties signed, Amalt Paya decides to take it upon herself to investigate anyway, in spite of the punishment she knows she’ll face for defying direct orders not to. Her people are dying. What she and her fellow Ree warriors soon discover is worse than she thought. Entire towns are being razed to the ground. But how? And by who? Their enemy is not who they once thought.

Ivan Mandrake, a lieutenant colonel in the United Planetary Forces, is tracking a race called the Ya that is destroying planets. Following the Ya to a planet the UPF isn’t allowed to touch, he and his group come across a legion of winged warrior females. Their orders are to not make contact with the indigenous species of the planet, but the Ya are attacking, which means he and his men don’t have a choice.

The Ree know nothing of the technology the Terrans have, but Paya trusts them to help. Unfortunately, the Ree leaders don’t share that trust for the Terrans or Paya. She’s labeled a traitor, stripped of her title, then sent to the breeding stocks as punishment for the rest of her days. But she’s not done fighting, they won’t break her, and Ivan won’t stop fighting for her.

Regardless of the way her people have wronged her, Paya is still determined to save them from the Ya. With Ivan by her side, her feelings for him grow, and she knows Ivan cares for her, but she’s unworthy now of his love. She’s tainted after what her kind did to her. He’ll have to work to convince her otherwise.

In the meantime, their mission is to save her planet. Together.

Warning! Contains trust issues, fields of destruction, debilitating pain, alien castles, lies and deceit, a brutal punishment, spaceship billiards, saving bacon, unorthodox and spur-of-the-moment decisions, loving promises, and one woman learning to accept the fact that the man she's come to love is willing to accept her under any circumstances.
