Lina Daniels a l’habitude de combattre le feu par le feu. Elle n’a pas peur de mourir mais être capturée la terrifie. En tant que membre combattante de la résistance sur

Destin fera tout son possible pour reconstruire sa ville natale, même si cela signifie travailler avec un autre ambassadeur extraterrestre.

I Trivator erano giunti per condurre la Terra all’interno dell’Alleanza dei Sistemi Stellari, ma furono costretti ad assumere il controllo del pianeta per evitare che gli umani lo distruggessero in nome della loro paura...e per proteggerli dalle forze militari degli altri mondi.

Saber befürchtet, dass er sich nie vollständig von seinen ihn lähmenden Verletzungen erholen wird, und er weiß, dass er seine Amate nicht verdient hat, wenn er sie nicht beschützen kann.

Der Gedanke, dass einer solche Schönheit Leid zugefügt werden könnte, erfüllt ihn mit Angst.
