The tribe has already predicted that she will follow a dangerous life-path. The ancients have gifted her with the lost mind-language. Her ultimate destiny is tied to the extinct blue dragon-steeds.

The Last Human

Picture
“Science Fiction, Adventure and Romance at its Best.”
She’s human, he’s not. Can they defy the odds?
 
“And just imagine, my brother thinks he knows everything there is to know about females. Well, all his experience on Gathor won’t save him now!”
 
“Nope. My money is on Mala. He’s never run into one like her. That one has guts. She is a runner and packs a nasty bite.”
 
***
Mala is the last surviving human in the solar system of Oran. She has had a difficult life and distrusts men.
 
Enter Loxtar. He is considered the greatest fighter ever produced by his tribe. Because Mala has no one to care for her, he takes her under his protection.
 
He has decided that he needs to give up brothels on Gathor and acquire Mala as his mate. But Mala has other ideas.
 
Their pairing was portended to produce a female child with a special gift that would restore the soul of the Stalok nation. But, the elders, spirit guides and tribal seer are worried that the two might not be able to work things out.
 
It is a great story of redemption and love.
