and analyze the specialized nanobots and their scientists already had ideas for improvements underway.
Improvements which would be essential for her coming assignments. This mission her superiors were very
pleased with her results.
She turned back to the workpad with a sigh, wondering if her heart was really in it anymore.
Atlantis IV was her next destination and one far deep into the Separatist zone. The nearest friendly
system was fifteen star systems away. She d be truly alone and without back up on this one, no hidden
handler nearby. At least her task would be simpler, a standard data theft and retrieval. She should be in and
out of there within a month or two.
Marcella paused, feeling a small skip in her heart as she checked the tracker she d left on board the
Ultimate. It looked as if she could time it right, Raol and Lilithia would be there too.
She checked through her lingerie drawer. She should do a little shopping first. This time she wanted to
be properly prepared.

She has the power to bring new life& or utterly destroy it.
The Sun Sword
© 2009 Lexxie Couper
Torin Kerridon, the last warrior from an ancient order, is drawn to an abandoned, dying Earth, where
he finds a forgotten young woman. A woman forged by the Immortals to wield the ultimate weapon the
Sun Sword. A woman capable of commanding the power of the suns. A woman with no past and no
memory, the body of an angel and the spirit of a demon. He will train her. Prepare her.
Hunted all her life, Kala Rei has endured more than one woman should. Sheer grit, and a dangerous
skill with a lead pipe, are the key to her survival. But nothing threatens her sense of safety more than
dominance-oozing Torin. He wants her, but not for what s between her legs. For what he believes her to
be some ludicrous savior from some absurd prophecy. No matter& his offer to take her away from Earth
is too good to refuse.
But when a savage desire begins to burn between them, both Torin and Kala are in danger and so
are the worlds of man.
Warning: This book contains an ancient prophecy that can t be denied, a brooding hero tormented by
desire, a stubborn woman who hungers for his touch, a villain so vile you ll want to kill him yourself and
sex so hot it ll melt the suns of the known universes& and then some.

Earth calendar 2445
Torin Kerridon walked down the rubbish-strewn street, studying the derelict buildings, stunted fauna
and polluted sky. So, this is Earth.
He curled his nose, moving his right hand closer to his disruptor. He didn t expect anyone to attack
him he doubted anyone still living on the once-prosperous planet was healthy enough to pose any
threat but that didn t mean he relaxed his guard.
You relaxed your guard, you died. That was the way of the Sol.
Besides, somewhere on this forgotten hunk of dying rock was a warrior of supreme force and skill. A
warrior more deadly than the entire Sol Order combined. Even if he didn t know it yet.
Stepping over a fallen tree, the leaves long dead, the branches withered and twisted as though
tortured, Torin scanned the immediate area. The Old Seer had sworn the One Who Burns could be found
somewhere in this vicinity. He d been quite adamant about it in fact, almost having an apoplexy when
Torin had voiced his doubt.
The old man had refused to listen to reason and, invoking the Sol Edict, had commanded Torin leave
P helios immediately for the abandoned planet.
Casting a dubious look at the closest building, boarded-up windows doing little to hide its desolate
decay, Torin shook his head. The Old Seer was never wrong. If he said the One Who Burns was here, he
was here. Somewhere. The southern hemisphere of the planet had survived the Third Global with the least
destruction, the planet s ailing weather patterns saving it from the initial bio detonation. Torin looked up at
the sky and scowled. Polluted storm clouds boiled and rolled above him. The Old Seer had drawn the
constellation under which Torin would find the One Who Burns, sightless eyes staring at the parchment as
he d inked the angled five-starred cross. The map however was useless.
Returning his attention to the buildings around him, Torin continued forward. He didn t need to see
the stars to know he was in the correct location. The sensors on his ship, Helios Blade, indicated a
significant number of life signs in this quadrant. The only sign of life on the eastern coastline of the large
landmass to be exact a paltry four hundred and forty-two souls. According to the Old Seer, the One Who
Burns was among them.
Torin frowned, looking at the empty, desolate dwellings around him. How are you going to find him,
Kerridon?
He let out a silent grunt, his skepticism pushed further by his bleak surrounds. The Old Seer had told
him the One Who Burns would find him, but he couldn t help wondering how.
The One will come to you. Walk through the streets of dismay with want in your soul, belief in your
heart and the One will come to you. This you must do. Or the hearts of man will be
His proclamation had ended there. The Old Seer s sightless eyes had rolled back into his ancient head,
he d hitched in a sharp breath and died.
Torin clenched his fist, the memory of his Sol guide s death still jarring. The Old Seer had charged
him with a task and he must obey. He was the last of the Sol Order. The last warrior charged with the
protection of the Sun Sword, the ultimate weapon in the known universes. A weapon forged by the
Immortals and discovered by the Oracle. A weapon created to end all life and begin it. He needed to find
the one who was born to wield the blade before the False Fire did. If he failed, the worlds of man would
