Finding Words

Twenty years ago, Emily Andrews was abducted from her home and made a slave on the world of Vandhaqa, there to serve an ancient race known as the Adhal. Called Taiyiha and remade by the Adhal's power, Emily and those captured with her must submit to their deepest, most intimate passions as their souls are harvested to feed the high art of their overlords, even as they cling to dreams of distant Earth. But after the Adhal collapse into war and chaos and the slaves are liberated, true freedom still proves elusive, for the Taiyiha have been changed and Earth is not as any of them remember it. So now Emily has returned to Vandhaqa, seeking the justice and answers denied her for so long. In the journey that follows, she must face not only those who enslaved her but a deeper bondage more profound than any even her old masters could have imagined. With an erotic narrative that alternates between the familiar world of our own time and an alien one seeped in mystery, Karen Anne Mitchell's second novel examines both the nature of real freedom and the challenge of love.
