Barbarian's Choice

The next novel in the Ice Planet Barbarians series, an international publishing phenomenon—now in a special print edition!

Farli has been waiting to find her hunter for years. But when a crash landing finally leads her to Mardok, she must decide between her home and her heart.

I might be the only unmated female in my tribe, but it doesn’t mean I’ve given my heart. I’m waiting. I want resonance, and I won’t settle for anything less.

But when an alien ship lands and a handsome stranger steps out, I know he’s the one. His name’s Mardok and he’s fascinatingly different – and distractingly appealing. But Mardok can’t stay on the ice planet, and he says he can take me with him.

Now, I must make a choice. Do I stay and lose my mate forever? Or do I follow him to the stars and leave behind everything I know?
