Book 1: Captivity Free Black Canary

Dr. Melodie Jaxxon was humanity's last hope-a soldier and epidemiologist hunting for the cure to a virus that annihilated 98% of mankind. But when a portal rips her from Earth and drops her into a savage realm ruled by Awyans-elven warriors who see humans as property-her mission becomes survival.Captured by Malec Talandros, a brutal war commander who doesn't speak her language or understand the concept of mercy, Melodie is stripped of her name, her freedom, and her autonomy. He renames her Allora-his little dove. And when he unknowingly imprints on her soul, a bond is formed that neither of them can escape.But Melodie is no docile captive. She's fierce, brilliant, and burning with defiance.As she searches for a way home, she uncovers a terrifying truth: the cure she came for runs through the veins of the very male who now owns her. Torn between her duty and the dangerous pull toward her captor, she must decide-what will she risk for freedom? And what if the real danger isn't losing herself... but wanting to be his?Their story is violent tension, obsession, and survival in a society built to break humans into obedience.True enemies-to-lovers. Dark romance fantasy. Slow burn across the series. Book One is the captivity arc and the build. The relationship payoff comes in later books.
