Querying The Sunkillers

Pediatric trauma surgeon Chloe grew up over centuries hiding that she was the only magical person on Earth and failing to find any hint of her origins. When a patient she personally knows dies, she screams her loneliness and despair to the void of space. To her shock, a group of magical humans appear and drag her through a portal to another planet in the future. However, their portal goes wrong, she’s marooned on the planet, attacked by monsters, and saved by a man as magical as she is.

As she joins the magically powerful elite of a galactic society, she discovers she was conceived for a political purpose and that her exile to the past was orchestrated by the fascist leaders of one of the ruling political parties. Now that she’s back, they want her to fulfill the role she was born for, hinging on the emergence within her of a new type of magic wrapped up in sex and mind control. Though her enigmatic rescuer wants to help her, he is limited by law, customs, and his belief in the effectiveness of his society’s democratic institutions. With her freedom on the line, Chloe must decide if she trusts herself enough to fulfill her magical potential and if she’s brave enough to open her heart to the man learning he’ll break every taboo to keep her safe.
