Sage

I’ve built a new life on the planet Tavikh, spending every day seeking penance. And despite witnessing three of my new-found friends find their fated mate, I don’t dare hope to find mine. Not when there’s a chance someone from Earth will arrive to take me back to face the consequences for what I did.

But when a gravely wounded warrior is brought into the healer’s tent, a single touch from me triggers his mating marks to appear. Maybe my punishment isn’t having to return to my planet, but rather being given a mate only for him to be taken from me.

Jodah

Ever since Deeka blessed the other warriors with their fated mates, I have wondered if the goddess will find me equally worthy. After awakening from a grievous injury, I discover it is the healer’s apprentice she has chosen for me. Except, despite my mating marks, I do not feel the mate bond within, leaving me to question whether Deeka made a mistake in her choice. Or perhaps I am being tested.

As I recover, and we spend more time together, there is something about my mate that makes me hope the bond may still form. Now I have to decide if I will follow where my heart is leading me or reject the female who may or may not be mine.

On a wild, untamed world lightyears from Earth, survival isn’t just about endurance—it’s about learning to trust what’s alien, and perhaps, falling in love with it.

Read full series description

Warriors of Tavikh unfolds across the vivid, dangerous landscapes of Tavikh—a planet where towering forests hum with unknown life, and the native Tavikhi live by ancient customs and fierce loyalty. When human women are stranded here, they’re not just fighting for shelter or food—they're caught between two worlds: the one they left behind, and the one that challenges everything they thought they knew about power, partnership, and desire.

Each installment of this character-driven sci-fi romance explores a different bond between a human woman and a Tavikhi warrior, drawing readers into slow-burn relationships full of tension, healing, and cultural collision. The emotional core of the series pulses with themes of found family, communication across boundaries, and the quiet, potent unraveling of trauma through connection.

The atmosphere is lush and immersive, combining the intimate pace of character development with the high stakes of survival in an alien environment. The Tavikhi aren’t just romantic partners—they’re complex individuals with histories, traditions, and vulnerabilities that echo the very human need to belong.

With its blend of evocative world-building, sensual tension, and heart-deep storytelling, this series speaks to readers who crave sci-fi romance with substance—where love grows in the shadows of danger, and trust is the rarest treasure of all.
