Her ship disabled, Ariana is taken captive after braving the outskirts of space containing the uncontrolled areas beyond her father's rule. Now in chains, she's transported to a planet and made a slave. Among the other male slaves, tall, muscular, and ruled by animal instinct, one rises above the others. Ariana sees nobility in him--he is a prince in a barbarian's body, one who can teach her how to survive and to be wild. Original.

Actually refreshing and eye-opening book. The first futuristic novel that I've read and it fortunately it did not disappoint.
Pretty epic for the last book of the series. And this is entertaining for a futuristic novel of complex proportions. Its many twists and turns made unable to predict what would usually happen next and I ended up barely putting it down and finishing anything. It has a depth to it that I find rarely in other books about life, love and other trivial things that others confound over. And I kind of like the idea of a love lasting through pains and obstacles, and finding trust and respect for each other.
Like the other books before this in the series, its makes one think and laugh and just fly across the stars with the characters. I especially like the twists here in the plans of the Damen, how it was vague a bit yet seem to reveal enough to make you want to the turn the page until you get to the answers.
