Fate's Apology

Rika yearns for freedom. Reylen yearns for purpose. When they are thrust together in a violent kidnapping, their desires collide in a maelstrom of hatred and reason, trust and disgust. A daring escape leads to a culturally-forbidden agreement to help one another, which is put at risk when mercenaries strike and Reylen is taken.

Rika forges ahead, with a price on her head, alone and vulnerable in an unfamiliar world. Her fortitude is tested when captured. She discovers that Reylen is a key figure in a genocidal plot by the Mar'quem of Dizharu, a mysterious ujin who can re-write reality within one's dreams.

As disaster looms over two civilizations, with friend and foe alike standing in her way, Rika must choose her allegiances wisely. Hope, honor, and prejudices collide in a climactic struggle for life, love, and liberty, for all Sentients of the Korl Sector.
