OSTAKIS
By: Angelica Primm
The Plot:
The Human Planets Collective sent
young Ambassador Kaj Deder to the for-
mer colony planet Ostakis to establish
relations. But his mission faces a huge
obstacle in the form of Most Reverend
Thyenn Sharr, the head of the Faith Pro-
gressive Church, who sees Kaj‟s arrival as
the beginning of the end of the Church.
Kaj‟s powerful attraction to Trademaster
Klath‟s son, Arlan, does not smooth rela-
tions. The stakes ratchet up when Arlan
and Kaj form a relationship that Thyenn Sharr considers ample
justification to usurp the Trademaster position through the legal
power of his Church.
Can Kaj navigate the treacherous currents of Ostakian poli-
tics and religion to save these human descendants of Earth?
And must he choose between Arlan or his mission to do so?
An Excerpt
“Arlan,” he called again, and this time a young man stumbled
from a doorway and pitched forward into his father‟s arms, mur-
muring apologies. Despite his nut-brown skin, a blush spread
across his cheeks and throat, causing my breath to hitch. Even
for an Ostakian, he was small and slim, though not skinny. The
muscles of his arms bunched under his tight tunic. His fey
Ostakian eyes caught the faint light in the hallway, reflecting
shards of glittering gold as his face turned up to meet my gaze.
Aulkus righted the young man easily. Arlan‟s gleaming dark
hair was twisted into a tight bun. My mind strayed most inappro-
priately to pulling it apart and watching his hair tumble to his
shoulders.
***** Goodreads Review by Robyn Stuart: “The story
had me in its grip from start to finish. This is a great story to es-
cape into that holds romance, mystery, fantasy, and sci-fi. I love
it.”

Biography:
Born in a century far less progressive than how her brain is wired, Angelica engages in occupations now
considered less than reputable, one of them being a ghostwriter of erotic and romance fiction. Since time
travel is not an option, in her off time she contents herself with writing about people and places in a far dis-
tant future with the twists that only come with traveling to the stars.
Angelica lives in Connecticut with an odd assortment of cats and humans and putters at hobbies ranging
from art to bird-watching to studying lexical density in fiction when she‟s not turning a phrase for her sup-
per.
