Publisher’s Synopsis:
I never wanted to be an omega. Until them…
Yes, omegas are spoiled, cherished, and protected in the lavish academy orbiting Altaira. But that isn’t what I want. I crave the freedom promised to graduating betas, not the luxurious captivity I was taught to expect.
When my emergence is delayed, it feels like a rare stroke of luck. That is until my handsome handler assigns a pair of sexy-as-sin alphas to trigger my latent heat cycle. Ghost and Shadow are more than meets the eye, and they aren’t alone. They bring with them a figment from my dreams that I’d been forced to forget. An alpha from my past who’s even more dangerous than the others.
As my instincts draw us together, dark secrets unfold, and I discover the Hive isn’t what it seems. The fate of the residents is far worse than I ever imagined, and to escape, I must embrace the life I never thought I wanted.

Rellim’s Thoughts:
Spotted this on Isoellen’s & AllTheAlphas IG.
This was a cool mix of omegaverse, SciFi, & dark romantic suspense. Alexi, Valyx & Axion infiltrate a colony holding Alphas, Betas, and Omegas as slaves specifically to find their stolen princess, Saphyra. Since she was abducted at a young age, Saphyra has few memories of her home planet and has been convinced they’re dreams.
I don’t want to spoil anything – there’s help from an unlikely source, finding where separated members of the group have gone, escape, and finding a safe harbor. All the while dealing with everyone’s reactions to Saphyra’s impending heat. I liked how Morrison balanced the primal nature with consent. It worked really well for me.
While this polyamorous group gets their HFN – this does end on a bit of a cliffhanger series wise. I’m definitely interested in reading the next book when it comes out.
Content Warnings (possible spoilers):
