Once upon a time, I was a sheltered princess. Now he owns me, body and soul.

One night, and my entire life went up in flames. All because of him. Jafar. As my world burned around me, he offered me a choice: walk away with nothing but my freedom…or rise to his challenge and win my fortune back.

I bargained.

I lost.

Now Jafar owns me, and even as my mind rails against him, my body loves the delicious punishments he deals out. It's almost enough to believe he cares. But a gilded cage is still a prison, and I'll do anything to obtain my freedom.

Even betray the man who captured my heart.

How much space does one princess need?

The sun is dying . . . and it's happening way too damn fast.

With the clock ticking, the Nine Planets' only hope of survival rests on a fancy space station and the alien artefact it's carrying. Which is why it really sucks when some jackass doesn't want the universe saved and blows that station up - while you're still on it.

So if your only choices are flaming death or stealing a flying hunk of space junk - you pick that busted-ass spaceship. Even if it leaves seven strangers with deadly secrets trapped together: a princess, a prisoner, a con artist, a warrior, a priestess, a mercenary, and an asshole in charge of us all.

Now every faction in the galaxy is hunting this ship - from the Sisterhood to the Corporation, and the rebellion's joining in on the fun, too. We just need to stop drinking, fighting, and screwing long enough to evade them all and save the freaking universe . . . somehow.

Because apparently the only thing standing between a dying sun and ultimate salvation is seven unlikely misfits . . . ahem, heroes.

Die laaste wens van ’n jare lange vriendin stuur Talla na die Glencoe-vallei in Skotland. Sy neem digbundels saam, asook haar wolkboekie om haar stokperdjie voort te sit – die soeke na seldsame wolke. Sy gaan by Munro’s tuis, ’n onopgesmukte herberg gewild onder bergklimmers, en hoop om stories oor tradisionele tartanwewerye te versamel.

Talla word by Mikey se soektog betrek, maar dit blyk gou dat sy gedagtes nie helder is nie, en sy geestestoestand net so troebel.

Wat is dit aan die stilte van hierdie vallei wat vergete verledes na die oppervlak laat dryf? Dit help ook nie dat Astian net ’n dag se reis ver, in Shetland, woon nie. Sal sy dit waag om die antwoorde op vrae uit haar eie verlede na te jaag?
