Life in the Cortii can be dangerous. Deadly to most people, especially for a Cortiora, and if there’s someone aware of the risks it’s Khyria Ilan. When after a vicious attack she’s sent on extended leave to a planet to recover from her injuries, she finds herself thrown into a peaceful and quiet country life. But of course, she has a mission to cover for her absence from Base Corina. That’s how we’re thrown into another dynamic adventure of this unconventional and mysterious woman.
I like Steel’s style, an author I discovered by chance before Christmas last year. And I took advantage of the deal on Smashwords to snatch copies of the Cortii saga, because I was too much intrigued by the world she created, after reading book 1. She created this fictional world filled with violence, deceit, intrigue, and I just love it. If that’s what you’re looking for in a book, then this series is for you.
While the first novel is an introduction to the wild world of the Cortii, the second one—Fighting Shadows—takes us off the base and on another planet. Introducing other characters it shows us a different side of Khyria, almost human.
You can still ask for a review copy of my sci-fi novel The Parallels, book 1 of the Sehnsucht Series here, of buy a copy at your favourite online retailer.
Some people say to never trust a spy.
Aboard Hydra Station, Halazar wakes up to the news of the death of her commanding officer. The Manderian militia appoints her to unmask who’s responsible.

A suspect disappears along with his family. Innocent lives are at stake and Halazar must choose between duty and justice.
A dangerous murder. A scientific discovery that may change the course of history. A woman in a glass tank with no memory.
Three parallel destinies entwine in a war-raging galaxy.
