Blood Dance By Samantha Cayto -

: Both protagonists are outcasts—Alex from his home planet and Quinn from his family. Their connection is rooted in a shared search for a place where they are accepted.

: As captain, he carries the responsibility of keeping his remaining loyal men safe while mitigating "collateral damage" caused by the traitors.

Blood Dance is more than a romance; it is a story about the intersection of different worlds—both literal and emotional—and the danger that arises when the truth finally comes to light.
