was left as a sacrifice. The alien in the cave will claim me. I am Tres. As the sun rises on the last day of my life, I am painted with the hands of the ancestors and sent to starve in the dying cave. But I am not alone in this cavern of bones. A powerful alien finds me. Frees me. And he claims me for his own. Stranded far from the future, Vulcan does not understand that my death is foretold. I was born to be the bride of the fiery mountain, not the possession of a rough alien. I know better than to fight fate, but he is too fierce a warrior to relinquish me. What gods will he anger by denying me to them? What laws of nature will be broken in his quest to keep me for himself? I’m afraid I know the answer: All of them.
