Publisher's Summary

Across thousands of planets in the Krey Empire, all humans have a single title...Slave.

Born into oppression, Siena is an ordinary young woman, until an act of defiance leaves her scarred and marked as a rebel. She's sold to Ero, a fallen Krey with a desperate plan to redeem his once-powerful family. He intends to enhance slaves by altering their genetic code, increasing their value through an illegal experiment.

Reklin, a bone-armored soldier, hunts them both. His orders come from a mysterious source, but his loyalty to the Empire has no limits. Noble, soldier, and slave, they are about to discover a dangerous truth - that humans can be augmented. But none can predict the abilities they'll unlock, or the rebellion they'll unleash.

Experience this start to an epic space-opera saga from number-one Amazon best-selling author Ben Hale.

great read

Absolutely loved this book. Every title written by Ben Hale is a must on the list. I have listen to every one of his books so far and I have never been let down. The world of lumineia never disappoints.

Dumb story great action

I almost stopped listening when the aliens could have children with humans but doesn’t explain why straight away. Maybe he does so later let’s see. The author is really good at action sequences but the world building is very pedestrian. He clearly never researched how actual slavery worked. For example the absence of a religion that helps people accept enslavement was stark. Also they have robots than can do something a a intricate as surgery why would they need so many unskilled slaves? No explainer. It’s a dumb story I am going to ask for my money back.
