    Summary

    Adora is an Astrophysics PhD student who just can’t seem to write her dissertation. When the opportunity arises to work at the IceCube Neutrino Detector at the South Pole, she jumps at the chance, even though she’ll be stuck there for six months during the Antarctic Winter. When she arrives, she discovers that her research partner is her former roommate, former teammate, former best friend, former, well, everything, who she hasn’t seen since they graduated from college five years ago.

    Summary

    Rare neutral ground between the warring forces of the Eternian Empire and the Galactic Horde, Etheria Station is a safe haven nestled in the center of the Whispering System.

    Adora finds herself a deserter of both the Horde and the Eternian forces; seeking refuge in the only place in the galaxy left to her, she struggles to figure out what kind of life she wants to lead on Etheria Station now that she isn't a soldier any more. It doesn't take long for Catra to show up on the station, claiming that she's defected from the Horde, but Adora can't shake the feeling that of all the Horde's covert operatives, Catra is the one most uniquely qualified to successfully pull off a delicate 'retrieval' of a wayward Force Captain Adora.

    Summary

    Three years ago, Catra’s desperate, final act against Horde Prime should have ended her life. Instead, it left her broken, trapped, and sold into the blood-soaked arenas of the lawless planet Klagthorn. As Claw, a gladiator prized for her ferocity, Catra has clawed her way to survival, but she knows her days are numbered. Patrons, pain, and the ever-hungry crowds rule her life now, and that’s fine. She’s resigned to it. At least it’s better than Etheria, where she was hated, feared, and rightfully condemned.

    But everything changes when Adora shows up. General Adora now. Of course, the idiot couldn’t leave well enough alone.

    Adora should be focused on saving the galaxy. Instead, she’s focused on saving Catra, something Catra doesn’t think she deserves and definitely doesn’t think is possible. With Ulian, Klagthorn’s sadistic overlord, watching their every move, the odds are stacked against them. And as much as Catra doesn’t want to care, Adora’s relentless kindness and maddening belief in her begin to chip away at the walls she’s built.

    But even if they escape the chains of Klagthorn, what future could there possibly be for a general of the Rebellion and a former war criminal covered in scars?

    Summary

    When Catra agrees to spend Christmas with Adora’s family, meeting them for the first time, she plans to win them over despite her disdain of all things holiday-related. The plan quickly goes south when Adora confesses her parents don’t know the two are dating—moreover, they don’t even know Adora is gay.
