Synopsis

She fights for the freedom of her people. He fights for hers.

The stakes are high, the price even higher, and Dantor’s demands are clear: if Kit continues to defy him, he’ll come for the blood of the man he hates more than any other in the galaxy—her beloved Captain.

—

“There’s no stopping this… is there?” Kit whispered.

“I’m afraid not…” Dantor replied, “…My Lady.”

Even now, with her anger and defiance, Dantor knew he had to have her. She was more his equal now than she had ever been before, and it intoxicated him to think that—if he could just play his cards right—he could make her stay by his side, willingly. His fingers twitched, and he had to stop himself from reaching out and taking her back right then and there.

—

Kit’s mission to restore her lost home world prompts her to seek allies wherever she can find them, even within the galaxy’s Central Government. But Dantor’s relentless pursuit threatens to follow her from the core worlds to the far reaches of space, and this time he’s not alone.

Kit struggles to fulfill her role as Lucarn Commander, a position that threatens to drive a wedge in between her and the Captain, and the conflict between Malcolm and Rian intensifies. Balancing interactions between her distrustful people and the human crew proves challenging than the young Grey could ever have anticipated.

The strain leads the crew to a point of decision, and Kit asks Malcolm to leave her. She knows she must face her former master head on if there’s to be any hope of breaking free from him once and for all—she can only pray that their defenses hold against his invasion force, and keep the ones she loves safe from his murderous rage…

Can the Lucarn recover from decades of devastation and the near loss of their most powerful clan House?

Will Kit find her balance and step into her power, or will she lose herself—and the man she loves—to one final, desperate wager?

—

Book 3: Dispersion of Light brings the Native of Nowhere trilogy to its explosive, climactic end. If you like deep, complex relationships, themes of trust and trauma recovery, stepping into your unique power, and a satisfying culmination of the slow burn romantic sub-plot (no spice), wrapped in the intrigue of interspecies politics, you’ll want to binge this series. Pick up all 3 titles and cancel your weekend plans.
