Humans are an inferior species, but if it means escaping civil war, is it worth traveling the Universe to hide on Earth? And can Elizabeth join her life to the man her parents hate in order to save them? Elizabeth (formerly Octavia) has decisions to make and bridges to burn if she has any hope of surviving the turmoil on her dystopian home planet, Domum-Orbis. Perhaps sixteenth-century humans are not as primitive as her studies have indicated. Perhaps one of them, one human male, may be just what she needs to complete her bid for freedom.

Richard Anstey has already betrayed one elite rift-opening woman. Will Elizabeth fare any better? Can such an arrogant male Aurigan be trusted, and what is he hiding behind his sophisticated and sensual facade?

William Wrenn hates his father and step-mother. They want him to travel to London, study law, and perhaps even gain a post of influence in the court of Queen Elizabeth I. He loves the wild seashore and the natural world and would rather stay home and run their estate. But when William sees travelers from beyond the stars, will he find a way to protect the woman he loves and defeat her enemies?

The events of this book pre-date Surviving Anstey by some twenty years. It’s Elizabeth’s tale, but it’s Richard Anstey’s beginnings and William Wrenn’s love story too…
