Synopsis (Goodreads):

A love baptized by fire.

As the most unique psychic in the galaxy, Sabra is eager to join the Vanguard, the powerful army of the genetically engineered Xian Warriors. Her desire to be assigned as Chaos’s Soulcatcher takes on a whole new meaning the moment their eyes meet, forming an undeniable bond between them. But before her training is complete, her powers unexpectedly reveal an unfolding drama that threatens the stability in Coalition space, and she is thrust into a deadly game of divided loyalties.

As co-leader of the Vanguard, Chaos has devoted his life to defending the galaxy, convinced there is nothing else for him but war. Yet, the day he meets Sabra, he immediately recognizes his soulmate. Duty demands he bring the stunning and dauntless Empath on a perilous mission, but his hearts command he keep her safe. The last thing Chaos needs is to relive a nightmare from his past when his Kryptid archnemesis endeavors to destroy everything he holds dearest.

Will Chaos lose his soulmate before their future has even begun?

Thoughts on Chaos: Oh, MAN, I like these Xian Warriors. Sure, Chaos's rigid adherence to the rules when it comes to time frames nearly messes up his chance with Sabra, but the Warriors are pretty darn awesome (even when they find it hard to unbend at times).Let's look at the fact: They can shapeshift, they fight evil, and they are utterly devoted to their soulmate once they connect with them.

GOOD STUFF.

Their female halves aren't too shabby either. The women who join the Vanguard can more than hold their own against their sometimes bossy mates. They're just as determined to do their part as the Xian Warriors and they make a difference when it matters most.

On the relationship front, Chaos is hit with all the feels upon meeting Sabra. Sabra pretty much feels the same, but she doesn't have mating glands telling her Chaos is her special someone. And Chaos is trying to give her time to get to know him before he hits her with the mating whammy, so he doesn't say anything. Which almost backfires on him.

Fortunately, things that are meant to be will happen and the two figure things out. YES!

On the fight against evil front, things are moving forward. The Vanguard is preparing to move against the General and factions within the Kryptid are seeing the truth about what their General has become. THINGS ARE HAPPENING. So many things.

I'm so glad I've played catch-up with this series!
