Series: The Beast's Burden Chronicles

Trapped aboard a living spacecraft hidden above her hometown, a teenage outcast must wage a one-girl war against ruthless alien mercenaries to save her best friend before the ship jumps into deep space.

A SHIP FULL OF ALIENS TOOK HER BEST FRIEND. THEY SHOULD'VE LEFT HER ON EARTH.

Abigail Ashby was raised to be a weapon by a dad convinced the world was on the brink of collapse. Then, inexplicably, he forced her into early retirement-aka high school.

These days, Abigail's only battle is defending Harris, her outcast best friend who swears his parents were abducted by aliens. She's secretly sure he's delusional-right up until his bedroom explodes in amethyst light.

They wake up aboard the Beast's Burden, an interstellar warship lurking above their town. Its leader, a sadistic warlord, seizes Harris as his prize, while Abigail slips away in the chaos-overlooked, underestimated.

Until she kills an alien to survive.

Now, hunted through the ship's living corridors, Abigail must decide: retreat into the shadows, or unleash the lethal training she buried to wage a one-girl war and save everything she's ever known. Because Harris isn't just a hostage. He's the trigger for humanity's extinction.

Reviews for Abducted

""ABDUCTED by J.S. Ash is a high-stakes sci-fi survival story in which a sharp, underestimated teenager is forced to fight alien mercenaries aboard a living warship to save her best friend. Mixing brutal action with smart character moments, the novel builds tension as buried training and fierce loyalty collide with threats far bigger than she imagined, resulting in a tense, imaginative, and emotionally grounded gripping opener."" - IndieReader ""If you like YA science fiction, alien abduction, action-adventure thriller, and romance that refuses to be tidy, this is aimed squarely at you, especially if you enjoy stories where a heroine's self-trust is as important as her weapon."" - Literary Titan (5 Stars) ""Intense Science Fiction... Thrilling and Human... Abducted works well for readers who enjoy a mix of intense science fiction and survival obstacles... Ash balances action with character moments, allowing relationships to matter even as the danger escalates. The alien threats were well thought out and convincing. I liked that Abigail's father and other adults weren't helpless, which kept the tension going."" - Readers Favorite (5 Stars)
