Because a Cire warrior never turns away from what is his to protect.

As danger closes in, Becsul must choose—remain loyal to his world… or claim the family he never expected.

What Risingshadow readers think about this book

9/10

This was another enjoyable standalone story in the Treasured by the Alien series and took place on Ciresia. Becsul & Melissa have a rocky beginning but managed to overcome it along with tackling the obstacles that faced them. I enjoyed seeing how Becsul interacted with Melissa's three month old son Robbie and how quickly their bond formed. The epilogue of this story was really sweet and I look forward to reading the next book in this series Bride of the Alien Warrior later this year.
