Brute Alien Vampire

Tryton and his crew were never supposed to survive the black hole.

Their ten-man, super-advanced warship should have been crushed into nothing. Instead, the black hole spits them onto a primitive world, leaving them stranded in the Nevada desert with a damaged ship and no way home.

Tryton's warriors are feared across the stars—brutal, disciplined, and sworn to keep their hunger leashed. Earth was never meant to know they existed. But every heartbeat on this world smells like temptation, and the longer they remain hidden beneath the burning silence, the harder it becomes for Tryton to decide whether Earth is a prison… or a hunting ground.

Then Amber Clarkson sees the light.

Driving alone on a desolate Nevada road, the pretty, petite blonde spots an odd halo-shaped glow burning far out in the desert. Curious, and against her better judgment, she turns off the road and follows the pulse beyond the rocks. The beautiful, unnatural aura seems heavenly. Maybe even miraculous.

But what Amber discovers is no miracle.

A crash site. A disabled ship.

Warriors shaped like men, but not human.

And one, their apparent leader, whose first look feels like both a threat and a claim.

But the aliens are not the only danger. Something worse came through the black hole with Tryton and his crew, and now it is hidden inside the damaged ship.

Now Amber has stepped into a secret she was never meant to find, and for the surviving aliens, the crash may have been only the beginning.
