Elodie, an outcast on Earth due to her red hair, finds herself on the alien planet Rytaria. She dreams of romance but instead encounters Locanas, a terrifying alien warrior who demands her attention. Fleeing his relentless pursuit, she stumbles upon Barre, a reclusive and gentle giant. Will this unexpected encounter lead to the love she craves, or is she merely exchanging one captor for another?

The forest was a maze of towering trees and unfamiliar sounds, each rustle and snap sending a jolt of terror through Elodie. Rain plastered her red hair to her face, mingling with the tears that blurred her vision. Her lungs burned, legs screaming with every desperate stride, but she couldn't stop.

Behind her, she imagined the thunderous thud of Locanas’s boots, the high-ranking warrior who had made her life on Rytaria a living nightmare. He was relentless, a bloodhound on her trail, and the thought of his pursuit was a whip at her back.

She stumbled, her knee hitting the cold, damp earth near a stream. Panting, she pushed herself up, eyes darting wildly through the dense foliage. Every shadow seemed to hide his hulking form, every distant sound his approach. She was trapped, injured, and utterly alone in this alien wilderness.
