The Overlord's Echo

In a galaxy where destiny is encoded in DNA, a young woman from a desolate star system becomes the most valuable resource in the universe. Her unique genetic signature is the only cure for a deadly curse afflicting the cold, calculating ruler of a galactic empire. Claimed as his property, she is kept and sustained by him in a gilded cage, her life no longer her own. But he holds a secret: he can hear her every silent, witty rebellion against him, and he’s becoming captivated. As his clinical observation turns into dangerous obsession, they are targeted by powerful enemies who would kill to possess her secret. To survive, she must unlock the staggering power hidden in her bloodline and rise from a strategic asset to his true equal.
