Forged in Shadow by Anna Carven is the fifth book in her mature paranormal series entitled Dark Warriors. The story picks up with the Hendrix II in orbit around Earth with the survivors of Fortuna Tau essentially hostages as the Kordolians wait for permission to land on Earth to eradicate the Xargek. Peacekeeper Arin Varga travels to Earth to try to convince the Federation that the Kordolian warriors are the only ones with the strength, speed, skill, experience, and capability to take down a mature Xargek. As the politicians dither, she returns to space just as a Xargek invasion begins on the freighter. Varga has nothing to worry about since Rykal, one of the Kordolian warriors, is determined to protect her and win her trust. With help from her mother who is a Federation general, the humans are evacuated. Rykal and Varga manage to reach an escape pod, but are picked up by a cloaked ship belonging to the Federation's nonhuman division. To have a future together they must first survive.
An excellent continuation of the series. 4 stars.
