New York, NY, September 30, 2025 --(PR.com)-- BK Durio, a loving husband and father, as well as a security professional of nineteen years and a US Marine Corps veteran, has completed his new book, “The Crystal’s Captive”: a stirring novel that centers around an alien princess who escapes her homeworld to flee her duties and avoid punishment.

“When the pirate Jeannette Salvic crash-landed on the uncharted blue planet of Azugrá, she found a patriarchal society of aliens,” writes Durio. “After learning the Shadow Majik, she was transformed into the Goddess Jeannette Salvic during a great battle to free the female aliens from their oppression. One thousand two hundred years later, the indigenous Azugrarians live side by side with their human neighbors. Jeannette Salvic and her minions of the Salvic Sisterhood rule the matriarchal society with ruthless cunning and efficiency. The planet has become one where both male and female Azugrarians can be subjugated at the whim of the High Priestess Alyssã. Princess Layorã Luzã was three days away from her twentieth birthday, and she had until then to marry her missing fiancé or be subjected to the decision of the Salvic Sisterhood High Council. She knew that she only had one choice, and that was to escape from Azugrá and the clutches of the Salvic Sisterhood. Join her and her band of friends that she meets along the way as they use their wits and magic to journey across the galaxy.”
