Beneath the Surface: Book 1 in the Surface Series

By Alainna MacPherson

Annabeth
They arrived ten years ago. Called themselves the M'Nai and claimed they were better than us and they here to save us from enemies that were slowly on their way. Enslaving us all, under the guise that it was for our protection, they sent most of us to work in the mines to dig up a rare mineral that could only be found over twenty miles below the Earth's surface. All to power this mighty weapon that will save us one day.
When a new guard reports for duty on my shift, I can't seem to shake him. After another one throws me in a cell for insubordination only to attack me, he saves me. Nearly killing one of his own, he smuggles me into the barracks where he refuses to let me go.

It was just another job, that was it. Until it wasn't. Until I laid eyes on her. A human she may be, my thoughts are consumed by her, my body craving her. All this time, we were told that her species is less than, inferior to all that we could and have done. My first post as a guard, I never thought the end of my career as a senai would be due to falling for one of my charges.
It's not just her though that's causing something inside me to shift, something baser that's clawing to get out. Hatred from both sides follows us back to my home when I realize I can't protect her in the mines. To make matters worse, the king has reservations to our relationship, not helping to sway my peers to accept us. There's no time to dwell on the bigotry of others, though. Someone is trying to kill her and I'll tear them limb from limb before they ever come close.
