Kurzbeschreibung: Oath Forger (Book 1) by Nia Mars Im a scavenger. So what? With societys collapse on Earth, I do what I have to for survival. Especially after Im kidnapped by space pirates. I have no idea why the five most powerful rulers in the universe decide that Im the Oath Forger, the one foretold to fuse their royal houses together and bring peace. But Im going to play along. Because, hey, its better than probes in uncomfortable places. Now lets just hope they dont find out Im lying. Excerpt: My attention is glued to the man who sits straight ahead, on a platform of his own, above all others. Hes larger than the largest man I had ever seen on Earth. His shoulders are twice as wide as mine. He is wearing a body-hugging suit, a dark blue space material that absorbs light. His muscle definition is... Clearly visible, even from as far away as where Im standing. Hair the color of indigo spills down to the middle of his back, the kind of hair they used to call a lions mane on Earth. Straight nose, a jaw that looks like it had been cut from granite. But its the eyes that render me unable to breathe. His eye color matches his hair, and his gaze is locked on mine. And-here is the weird part-I can feel him in the room. I could almost swear I can hear his heartbeat. My awareness of him is...unearthly. Oh God, Im cracking. The stress of the abduction has done me in. Krek Koah stands, a fierce expression on his face. The buzz in the room immediately dies. Every single person falls silent. All attention is on him. Without moving his gaze from mine, he says, "I need this room cleared." Here is where Im seriously glad for the translator in my neck-even with the killer headache I feel coming-because if I didnt understand what he said, I would think it was Off with their heads. And Im pretty sure I would pee my pants. People file for the exits, no questions, no protest. Im ready to go. Im backing away already. "Not you", Krek Koah pronounces, looking straight at me
