Possessed by Tana Stone
Series: Raider Warlords of the Vandar #1
Genres: Sci-Fi
I sacrificed myself to save my sister’s ship. Now the raider warlord owns me.
It was my own fault. I was the navigator of our ship, and I’m the one who led us straight into Vandar territory.
We’d heard rumors about the Vandar raiders—everyone in the galaxy had. Terrifying and ruthless, they were a scourge on the Zagrath empire and destroyed everything in their path.
Few had actually laid eyes on the Vandar or the notorious warlords who led their fleets of warships—and survived to talk about it. So, when the ruthless aliens board our ship intent on destroying it and killing the crew, I did the only thing I could do.
I gave myself to the dark and menacing warlord. In exchange for allowing my sister’s ship passage out of the Vandar territory, I must share his bed and travel with his crew of deadly raiders. Even though the sight of the huge, battle-scarred alien terrifies me.
But as I adjust to my new life on a savage warship, I discover that the dominant alien warrior wants more than just my body. He wants to possess my soul. And he’ll make a new deal with me to get it.
Possessed is a full-length sci-fi romance novel with an HEA and no cheating. It features steamy scenes on a raider warship, alien horde space battles, and some serious enemies-to-lovers heat.
If you like dominant and dangerous alien warriors, alien abduction-to-seduction romance, and hot scenes with a happily ever after, you’ll love Possessed, the first book in Tana Stone’s sci-fi romance Raider Warlords of the Vandar series. Each book can be read as a standalone.

Review
I must say I enjoyed this book so much. It was a wonderful start to a new series. I truly liked that backstory of the war between the Vandar and the Zagrath was included. However, it didn’t take large chunks of the story. We got information about the history of these two races in small bits when we needed it.
Astrid is the navigator for her sister’s ship and she is possibly the worst in the galaxy at it.
She tries but it just isn’t something she is good at. Which is how she puts them in Vandar territory while bringing Zagrath supplies from one world to another. With her sister’s head on the chopping block (literally) she steps up and takes the punishment instead. After all it is her mistake that got them there.
Raas Kratos is the Vandar Warlord ready to give punishment to the human who are aiding the Zagrath. Instead of killing Astrid he makes a deal with her that she will come with him and live on his ship forever in exchange for the lives of her sister and shipmates.
Astrid and Raas Kratos are explosive together! It takes a while for the pair to find their place with one another. Astrid is the only female on a ship full of male warriors. She has to learn to live with the aliens around her and find her place. All the while they are being hunted and chased.
The Krin the young apprentice warrior assigned to keep Astrid company is one of my favorite characters. He believes in his horde and warlord without a moment of doubt. As I said I loved this book and can’t wait for the next one.
COMING SOON
Releasing November 12
My sister gave herself to the raider warlord to save me. Now I’m hunting him down and getting her back.
I’ve never forgiven myself for letting that brute drag her off my ship, and I’ve done nothing but search for his horde of warships since he let my ship go free.
Everyone knows the Vandar raiders are cruel and merciless, so when my ship is attacked by another of the alien race’s warlords, I expect to be blown out of the sky. Instead, he takes me as his captive.
I may be the warlord’s prize, but no way will I submit to his demands. Even if his hard body and fiery eyes ignite a desire in me like nothing have before.
Despite my captivity, I’m still determined to find my sister. This Vandar warrior might not have her, but he knows who does. If I can give him what he wants, maybe he’ll help me find her. But can I risk letting him control more than my body? Can I risk him plundering my heart?
Plundered is a full-length sci-fi romance novel with a HEA and no cheating. It features steamy scenes on a raider warship, heart-pounding space battles, and some serious enemies-to-lovers heat.
If you like dominant and dangerous alien warriors, alien abduction to seduction romance, and hot scenes with a happily ever after, you’ll love Plundered, the second book in Tana Stone’s sci-fi romance Raider Warlords of the Vandar series. Each book can be read as a standalone.
