Prologue

Gadolinium 2724 AD

Star Portals have existed since the beginning of time. Doorways between worlds in this galaxy—and others. They are found on Earth at the convergence of ley lines, those invisible electromagnetic paths crisscrossing our globe. Our ancestors discovered them thousands of years ago and used them to travel to the farthest reaches of the Universe.

Flourishing ancient civilizations didn’t die out. The people of Atlantis, the Vikings, the Mayans—when tragedy struck their homelands, they simply migrated through the Portals to places where fresh water flowed, crops grew abundantly, and the climate was nearly perfect.

Human beings descended from our common ancestors are alive today on a trio of planets thousands of light years away. Islands of stability in the Universe where vast quantities of natural resources and rare minerals abound.

Neodyma. Iridia. And the icy world farthest from the warmth of the twin suns Phalys and Zalyx—Gadolinium.

Chapter One

“I’ll be back before half moon.”

“Can’t I come with you? I hate being here alone. No matter how many furs I pile on it, the bed is still cold without you to warm it.”

“Have you not yet learned that my decisions are not to be questioned? And remember—no lingering there for hours on end while I’m gone.”

Haldor’s voice took on the stern note that always sent decadent shivers down her spine. Then he held out his arms. “Now come and kiss me goodbye, like a proper wench.”

She laughed and threw herself at him. “A proper wench? Is that what I am?”

His lips captured hers in a fierce kiss, leaving her breathless. He drew back and grinned. “You will be one day. But I fear it may take you years of training—and discipline.” He gave her naked ass a playful swat and headed out the door.

“Ouch!” She turned away, rubbing her cheeks with both hands. His huge palm covered her entire bottom with one whack, bringing back memories of yesterday’s session over his knee.

“Selena!”

She groaned and burrowed down under the covers. Neither of the suns would be out for hours. No matter what the clock said, she hadn’t gotten used to starting her day in darkness.

His heavy stride thudded across the wooden floor. Suddenly the covers were wrenched away. She huddled into a ball. “Noooo!”

“Up with you, woman.”

She pulled a feather pillow over her head, trying desperately to ignore the booming voice.

“Come now, my Freya. How can you be my love goddess if you lie in bed with the covers over your head all the day long?”

“All day? Even if we did see the suns in this cursed season, they wouldn’t even be peeking over the horizon right now.”

He laughed. “Get dressed and come with me. I’m heading into the forest to gather more firewood. I don’t want to worry about you ever being without light and warmth. The fresh air and exercise will do you good.”

“Fresh air?” She threw her pillow at him. “It’s so cold out there, I can see the air when I breathe it out. Air isn’t meant to be seen.
