The science fiction romance novel ‘The Claiming of Moira Shine’ by M.A. Evereaux is set in a futuristic Earth that is dying from pollution and other causes. The human population is being forced into servitude by the Kinnians after being overrun by extraterrestrial invaders. One of the final people taken prisoner, Moira Shine, ends up as Marin DoTritus’s sex slave in the Kinnai palace.
But she has a strong will and is committed to regaining her freedom, even if it means losing her life. Moira finds her new owner, Anath Miritis when Marin is forced to give her up following an astonishing act of rebellion. After years of devoted service to the monarch, Anath finds himself caught up in the political upheaval as he navigates the politics of the court and takes care of his first slave.
Moira finds it difficult to fit in with a new society in which she doesn’t belong as she becomes familiar with the customs of the palace. The thought of belonging to Anath grows more alluring than she’d care to acknowledge amid the many court politics. But be warned this book includes violent scenes, mild BDSM, forced submission, male/male and ménage scenarios, torture, and more.
