Free Black Canary
He took her freedom. She’ll take his heart.
Major Melodie Jaxxon was never supposed to be here. One moment, she was searching for a cure to the virus threatening her world—the next, she was a prisoner in a strange land, a world where humans, or Canariae, are nothing more than servants, pets, or trophies.
She refuses to be any of those things.
Malec, the empire’s most ruthless commander, sees her defiance as a challenge. Unlike the others, she doesn’t cower—she fights, she argues, and worst of all, she makes him feel. He should break her, tame her like all the others. Instead, he finds himself wanting her in ways he doesn’t understand. Possessing her is no longer enough—he wants her to choose him.
But Melodie has only one goal: escape.
She will play his game, let him think he’s winning, even let him believe she might want him back. But the moment he lowers his guard, she will take everything from him.
Yet as lines blur between captor and captive, between obsession and something deeper, Melodie begins to wonder… what happens when the man she hates is the only one who can truly set her free?

This feels like something that deserves an anime or graphic novel adaptation Everything here is actually top notch nice one.
There are moments in this book that made me stop and just feel. Grief, anger, hope—each emotion is delivered with such honesty. That’s powerful writing.
What I admire most is how the author isn’t afraid to show vulnerability. These characters bleed, break, and evolve. It’s raw and real in the best way.
The story strikes the perfect balance between sci-fi action and deep emotional storytelling. Every chapter builds tension while revealing more of Melodie's heart. A must-read!

Character development is top-notch. Melodie isn’t just strong—she’s real, flawed, and determined ou don’t see that kind of depth often., nice one here
One of the most well-paced stories I’ve read on here. Every chapter ends with a reason to keep going. No fillers, just action and emotion nice one
I came into this with no expectations, but wow—this story grabs you from the very first chapter. The emotional intensity is off the charts. Awesome work here
