About this ebook
Lura, a winged female who resides on the planet Vrotia, is about to commence the Fertility Rite, a sacred ritual all winged Vrotian females must perform or chance complete reversion to the primitive nature of the wild huntress. Vu, the Vrotian God of Fertility, has finally revealed to the High Priestess of the Justynian Order the identity of Lura’s mate and at last the Rite may begin.
Nathan Callendar, an Earthling, is destined to fill the role of Lura's mate. Lura must travel to Earth, seduce Nathan beneath an eclipsed moon, and convince him to return with her to Vrotia. She has only seventy-two hours before she must return to Vrotia—with or without Nathan.
Without Nathan's help, Lura will be doomed to succumb to a predatory existence that has lain dormant within her until now. But will he see her only as an unnatural winged alien from another planet and deny her? Or will he allow himself to love the woman destined by Vu to be a part of his future?

Hobby interests are varied, including photography and traveling. The first defining love story Adrianna read back in junior high school was "Wuthering Heights" by Emily Bronte, and that set her on the road to her long-standing love affair with books of all genres. Her inspiration in writing often can be found by listening to song lyrics, from hard rock to classical, and reading poetry by such poets as Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Edgar Allen Poe, and Ranier Maria Rilke. But finding inspiration for her stories truly has no boundaries for Adrianna. In 2006, her dark fantasy GLBT story, Body Parts, won its category in the Dream Realm Awards.

CHAPTER ONE
Her destiny awaited. Yet like the rampant jungle vegetation seeking to consume the land, Lura’s wild nature sought to dominate her. Only by constant vigilance would she have any hope of containing her nature until the rite was completed. Vu had left it almost too late. It had become a trial to maintain the veneer of civilized behavior, yet her inner battle must remain hidden, lest anyone realize how close the danger lurked.
How much longer could she still the savage needs roiling inside her? Long enough to find her mate?
Once she was united with him and the ritual was completed, she would be safe from the calling of her predatory blood. It would be stilled. At least that’s how it had always been. She could only hope it would be no different for her.
Lura’s home, Vrotia, was a planet with lush, rich soil, located within the Virgoan constellation of stars. It lay near the hand of Virgo, remaining hidden from those adventurers who would seek to conquer its lucrative agricultural society. Its formal ruling class was matriarchal in structure; celestial guidance was provided in the form of the priestesses of the Justynian Order.
The majority of Vrotian women were winged, their offspring always female. If the abnormality of an absence of wings at birth occurred, it was determined the female was destined to serve within the Justynian Order. Normally, these females were imbued by Vu with other gifts to compensate in service to the gods.
Lucky women, Lura thought. The savage appetite never loomed nearby, threatening to turn them into the uncivilized beasts of their ancient lineage. They had no fear of being consigned to the jungle at the other side of the planet, to lose all sense of civilized, human emotion—to live only for survival as their animal instincts took control.
It was only the winged females who had to fight their nature until the mating could be achieved. Unwinged women didn’t have to wait for Vu to reveal the identity of their mate, and until then, live in perpetual fear that a true mate could not be found.
And if a woman belonged to the upper hierarchy of Vrotian society it was even worse. The priestesses presided and determined the proper matings for the Vrotian females of the ruling classes.
Many of the secondary societies of Vrotia formed matings with visitors to the planet, those who sought trade agreements, or had skills of value to the welfare of the society. No outsider was granted citizenship on Vrotia unless a mating could be arranged with a Vrotian female.
Lura stared out over the panoramic landscape of her mother’s dominion, contemplating the commencement of her upcoming fertility rite. She sat on a white marble bench in the garden awaiting her mother’s return from the Temple of Vu. For a year now the High Priestess Dymetra had worked to plot the exact time when Lura should mate. And then she must commune with Vu to determine which planet Lura’s mate would be chosen from.
All of this was done in the secrecy of the Temple under the watchful guard of the priestesses. Lura had tried to remain patient, but each passing day the urgency inside her grew stronger. She’d felt the ripening attempt to consume her. If the rite didn’t take place soon, the primal instinct would begin to assert itself. She’d seen it occur in others when the Fertility Rite was unable to be consummated. Whispers about how and where they were taken abounded.
The only thing that was known for sure was that they were banished to the other side of Vrotia across the large Rava Ocean, to the lush, heavy jungles, uninhabited by civilization, reverting to the huntresses of long ago. Such women were spoken of in hushed tones; folkloric horror tales abounded about their primeval ways and bloodthirsty tendencies. No one ventured into the jungles of Vrotia without protection—and then only rarely.
Lura was no exception from most young women in that she feared the worst. It had become a daily battle to fight the churning hunger and need to hunt for fresh meat. She hated what it was doing to her. To help her harness the untamed appetites rising inside, her mother had removed the livestock to the far end of the estate so that Lura would not be tempted. Neither of them spoke of the rising urges they both knew lurked inside her.
In the last six months
