Out of Orbit

Following an explosive space battle, Captain Jasmine Hale’s escape pod crash lands on


an unknown planet. She communicates with some of the world’s natives, but grows


frustrated when she learns signaling her crew for help is impossible. Though she


acknowledges she is stranded on Ryk indefinitely, she dreams of the day when she can


return to piloting a ship through the stars.


Aras, leader of the Rykians, hasn’t had contact with a human in five hundred years. Due


to his lengthy life span, little excites him in his day-to- day life, until he meets Jasmine.


Captivated by the woman who was suddenly thrust into his world, he desires to ease her


anguish while showing her the wonders of his kingdom.


Caught between two worlds, Jasmine struggles with a difficult dilemma—continue


searching for a way home or accept her new life on Ryk. Choosing one means leaving the


other behind forever. How will she decide?
