Shadow Wars Homebound
A new adult sci/fi romance
By LaVerne Thompson writing as Ursula Sinclair
My name is Nikki Ari and I know this sounds cliché but one night I was taken off the streets of London and my life was forever changed. For one thing I learned I was not human. But of alien origins, as in not of this planet, but hidden on earth for my safety. You see, I did not know, I come from another world. A world under the cruel rule of invaders who have taken over the planetary system, bleed the planets resources and enslaves its peoples. My people are depending on me to unite the galaxy to save them for I am an Ari. The last of the blood royal, their princess, their queen.
This is first in a series of stories to introduce the worlds of the conquered planets and the start of the Shadow Wars. Homebound is mine and Veil’s—my Lead Paladin, my personal bodyguard, my forbidden love—story.
WE DON'T BELONG HERE!Did you ever feel as though you don't belong?
Veil had been a step out of place all his life. Until one day he found a phone that took him on a path far beyond the world he knew. But to get all the answers he had to save the princess he fell in love with – only to lose her once he made her a queen.
Nikki never felt she quite belonged. Until she met a man who saved her life and placed her on a throne she never knew was hers. But in order to be queen and save a world at war, she had to give up Veil.
Would you walk away from the love of a lifetime if you could prevent the destruction of a planet?

Excerpt
Nikki
My body being flung forward in the car from the hard braking roused me from a sound sleep. The rain struck the car harder now, but I had no trouble making out the two men framed in the headlights, standing in the middle of the road, dressed in black, their long coats flapping out like wings behind them. I blinked, but they were still there, like something from a science fiction movie. Except this was no fiction and it sure as hell was no movie screen we watched.
The one on the right raised his arm and pointed it in our direction. I could see a blue light slowly ringing his arm. As though he charged the weapon he held, when suddenly another blue blast hit him from behind and he went flying into the air. The other man with him didn’t pause to check on his friend, but also raised his hand.
I could see it glowing bright blue. Hotter, faster. My gaze rested riveted on it.
“Out. Get out!” Veil yelled. Breaking into my fear, he opened the door and pulled me out behind him. He dragged me into a wet ditch seconds before the car exploded. He didn’t wait but kept dragging me away from the explosion.
In my shock, I could do nothing but stumble after him in the rain. “Mr. Moss,” I croaked out.
Veil screamed, “RUN!”
