It had been a long time since Galen had felt fear. Right now, it churned inside him with his anger.

When he’d lost sight of Sam, knowing they were taking her again, he’d felt fear he hadn’t felt since his boots were last on Aurelian soil.

He yanked his sword free of the Thraxian’s gut. He saw the Thraxian ship had landed, just sitting on the sand ahead of them. “Sam.”

“Here. I’m okay.”

He took her in, emotion sweeping through him. She was down on one knee, wavering a little. Battered, but alive.

She blinked slowly. “They drugged me.”

That’s when Galen noticed that her brown eyes were unfocused. Sand suckers.

Then her face changed. “Galen!”

He spun and saw five Thraxians step off the ship. Everything inside him went icy-cold. He gripped Sam’s arm and helped her to her feet, grimly watching the newcomers.

“Stay back,” he warned her.

Sam snorted. “Yeah, right.”

He shook his head, watching as she lifted the knife with a shaky hand.

Stubborn and determined. “You’re drugged, so please stay back.” A wry smile flickered over his lips. “I’ll take care of them.”

Turning, he strode toward the Thraxians.

“We’ll grind you and your house to dust,” the lead Thraxian shouted.

“You can try.”

Galen had never been one to waste time with taunts. He launched forward to attack, swinging his sword.

The next two minutes became a series of lunges, swings, and turns. Energy filled him, his tattoos glowing, signifying his status as a royal bodyguard. They enhanced his strength, giving him a punch of energy and speed. They hadn’t glowed since Raiden had become an adult.

Galen cut one Thraxian down and another charged at him. Galen spun and thrust. Then he turned, slamming his elbow into the face of another Thraxian.

Then he heard a noise.

Whoosh.

Something wrapped around his sword arm.

He yanked against it, and saw that one of the Thraxians had fired some sort of weapon. The metallic rope was wrapped around his arm, connecting him back to the large crossbow the Thraxian held.

Galen pulled hard and the Thraxian stumbled. Then, he righted himself and fired again.

A second rope shot out, wrapping around Galen’s other arm.

Drak. He tried to maneuver his sword up to cut the metal ropes.

Whoosh. A third rope wrapped around his middle. He fought against it, but he noticed the ropes were starting to glow.

The ropes tightened around his body, pressing his arms to his sides, and they were now a brilliant gold. They began to burn wherever they touched his bare skin.

“Cowards,” he roared.

The Thraxians advanced. “We do what is necessary for the might of the House of Thrax.”

“There is no House of Thrax anymore,” Galen said.

One Thraxian raised his sword, pressing the tip to Galen’s gut. “Now you die, and there will be no House of Galen.”

A body flew at the alien.

Sam landed on the Thraxian’s head, neatly avoiding his horns. With a twist of her thighs, she took the alien down. Galen heard the Thraxian’s neck snap.

Galen dropped down and kicked out with his leg, knocking over another Thraxian.

When Sam rose, she stood between Galen and the others.
