He had no name until she gave him one. Elios has existed for eons,
yet he has never lived. As a Solean Observer, his latest assignment
is to study human nature. When Earth reaches its final days, he
will be the one judging whether humanity's memory deserves to be
preserved. This is not his first mission, and he is confident that
he will make Lex, his Ancestor Guide, proud once again. Then, in
Athens, Elios locks eyes with Gaia, and for the first time in his
long life, he develops feelings he doesn't have a name for. An
impulse stronger than any he has ever felt will drive him to follow
Gaia first to Rome, where she lives, and then across the ocean to
the United States when she goes to study abroad. In Seattle, unable
to fight his sentiments any longer, Elios finally approaches Gaia.
What starts as an innocent desire to talk to her just once, soon
becomes a fire Elios can't quench. And yet, bound by his oath as an
Observer, he can't have any physical contact with her. Struggling
between his duties to Solo, the planet that gave him birth, and
Gaia, who has become the only reason for his existence, Elios must
decide. But fate, in the form of an archeological finding
discovered inside an Etruscan tomb, decides for him and Gaia,
separating them. Although Elios is a companion novel to Gaia, they
can be read in either order. They are both stand-alone stories from
different points of view. You met Gaia and Elios in her book; now
hear his story.

While vacationing in Greece, Gaia locks eyes with a stranger,
twice. Two years later, back in Rome, she should be enjoying
college life; instead, the memories of his lapis lazuli eyes and
Mona Lisa smile still haunt her. Gaia longs to meet him again and
unwittingly sabotages her romantic life by refusing to move on.
Only her anthropological studies about the mysterious Etruscans
make her feel alive. A chance to breathe new air is presented to
her when she wins a full scholarship to study abroad at the
University of Washington. In rainy Seattle, Gaia finally meets the
man of her dreams, but he proves to be... otherworldly. Meanwhile,
in her field of studies, what starts as an interesting
archeological finding about a six-fingered human image, soon
evolves into the discovery of the millennium, but not where Earth
is concerned. Although Gaia is a companion novel of Elios, you can
read these in either order. They are both stand-alone stories from
different points of view. You met Gaia and Elios in his book; now
hear her story.
Love doesn't obey preordained rules. Sometimes, social status and
gender mean nothing. The purest of affections can be born between
two people living in different worlds. In a society where women
rule over an enslaved race of men and love between a woman and man
is considered a perversion, Pax's and Prince's union is destined
for a tragic end. Coming from an existence of privilege, Pax has
never endured harshness. She has never had any reason to doubt the
rules Ginecea was built on. Everything changes when she is sent to
spend her summer on a desolate farm and is exposed to the ongoing
brutalities against defenseless men. A wrong turn leads her to
witness Prince's thrashing at the hands of the guards. One look
from him and Pax's perfect life is shattered, the memory of his
dark eyes haunting her night and day. As a pure breed, born to one
of the most prestigious family in Ginecea, she would have never
thought it possible to fall in love with a man. Marked as a sinner,
Pax abjures her ancestry to save Prince's life. She hopes they can
disappear into the desert, but social prejudice and political
schemes give them no respite. The Priestess, the ruler of all
Ginecea, has other plans for Pax Layan and her family. Second in
The Ginecean Chronicles, Pax in the Land of Women is a dystopian
tale set on the planet Ginecea.
