The Unfettered Mage Series by Taki Drake

How deep is a mother’s love? Will determination and honor carry you among the stars? A story of loss and discovery, We Are Not Prey, balances the darkness of despair and the joy of new beginnings. This science fiction adventure blends magic and technology with the adventures of Ruth, a normal human, pushed into extraordinary situations. Ruth’s transformation takes her from Earth to worlds and situations of which she never dreamed.

When your world changes around you, do you fight it or adapt? Almost everything has changed in Ruth's world. Ripped from the loving arms around her and carried into space, she has survived slavery and a transformation that would have broken many others. Faced with insurmountable challenges, she has countered darkness with light and despair with love. Will this be enough to earn her some peace? Or will it be her spirit and heart that are broken?
