Be careful in Darkside, because its darkness is seductive. Once you feel its allure, you won't be able to resist.
Zyara al Sirian has devoted most of her adult life to the art of healing. As the First Division's medic, she's seen more than her fair share of war wounds and trauma. And ever since the Kordolians arrived on Earth, she's had her hands full tending to a motley group of survivors.
She hasn't had a break in longer than she can remember.
A break? What's that again?
After much persuasion, she finally agrees to take some well-deserved time off to explore the city with Sera, Arin, Jia, and their Kordolian mates.
You need to relax. It'll be fun, you'll see. Darkside comes alive at night.
When she crosses paths with a mysterious, charming Human called Kainan, she realizes there's more to this lawless place than meets the eye. The Federation holds no sway here. Beneath Darkside's glittering facade, Humans rule hidden empires from the shadows through secrecy and violence.
Zyara gets a taste of their world when Human conflict spills out onto the street. She can't help but intervene. It's what she was trained to do.
Her actions save a life. In return, Kainan says he will give her anything she desires.
Oh dear. What's a Kordolian to do?


Darkside Blues is a novella set in the Dark Planet Warriors universe. It will make more sense if you've read the other books first, although that's probably not absolutely essential.
