When Dax and Bell crash land on an unknown planet they only have one objective— find their friends and fellow Avanti. Of course Bell needs to heal up from his injuries first, then they have to work out where to go. Their biggest problem is— they hadn’t counted on the world they landed on being quite as large as it was. Along the way they encounter hostile local warriors, incredible beasts and more than their fair share of problems... moreWhen Dax and Bell crash land on an unknown planet they only have one objective— find their friends and fellow Avanti. Of course Bell needs to heal up from his injuries first, then they have to work out where to go. Their biggest problem is— they hadn’t counted on the world they landed on being quite as large as it was. Along the way they encounter hostile local warriors, incredible beasts and more than their fair share of problems. It would be fascinating, if they weren't so worried about their friends. Dax has gone into damage control mode, as the commander of the Avanti it’s his job, his duty, to see his friends and teammates safe and there is nothing that will stand in the way. Bell, the calmer of the two, has finally found somewhere he can let his inner darintha beast be free and he’s making the most of it, using his darintha senses to help find their missing friends. Never forgetting their mission, the two embark on a journey that not only tests them to their limits, but also deepens the trust and friendship that being Avanti is all about. Together, they search for their friends, and fight for survival as only the Avanti can. May your journey be swift and uneventful, may you all get one step closer to your truemates and may good triumph over evil. Remember love conquers all. This is book 2.5, but it can be read at any point in time after book one. It does not need to be read to follow the main story. It was written because so many asked for what happened to them and for readers to get to know Dax and Bell a little bit better. less
