Shattered Crystal

Destiny, it seems, has plans for Kitania Celeste...

Having lived a lifetime of captivity, her family, her safety, and her innocence stolen, Kit's shocked to learn that she is the only surviving heir of the Lucarn ruling clan, House Grey. Now she must put aside her own fears and fight for her people, holding their fate in shaking hands. When her pursuers begin to close in, will she be able to fight for herself?

"Do you agree to my terms?" Kit asked quietly. Her entire body was shaking, and the fear and anger were prominent in her voice, "The ship leaves. I stay... You don't touch them."

“You have ten minutes," Lexor answered, "If you're not outside on holo comm and the ship isn't gone by then, I'm shooting to kill... I'll see you soon, Kitania."

Recovering from her recent distressing experience aboard Lexor's ship, Kit's abilities as a Lucarn are beginning to grow. But while the crew of the Criostal Geal is off world working and replenishing supplies, Kit learns the truth of her heritage, and she's faced with an impossible choice: keep on the run, or embrace her role among her people and risk exposure.

Kit dreads what could happen if Dantor was to find the ones she's sworn to protect, and when an old enemy discovers her presence on Sollus, she again finds herself on the run. Aiming to keep the others out of harm's way, Kit meets her pursuer head on in a gamble that could cost her everything. This time she's pushed to the limit and lives are on the line...

Will Kit be able to accept herself and fill the unique role she's inherited among her people, harnessing the power she possesses as the last surviving heir of House Grey?

How far is she willing to let her pursuers push her to keep the ones she loves safe?

Shattered Crystal picks up the action right where it left off as the second book in the Native of Nowhere trilogy. Constantly aware that her presence puts those around her at risk, Kit struggles with self-acceptance, finding comfort in community, and letting others into her heart.

When another man enters her life, actively pushing the humans away, Malcolm immediately finds himself at conflict with Rian. The heat of a slow burn builds between Malcolm and Kit in the no spice romantic sub-plot, but so does her fear of losing him. She knows Dantor, and she knows he won't hesitate to kill...
