I had my getaway perfectly planned. Then I got on the wrong ship. His ship. Talys is supposed to be an ambassador but he has the social graces of a donkey. And now I'm stuck with him. Look, I know people are trying to change things on Korystus. They want to prove that humans and Korysti can live together. I say there's too much bad blood. Talys is kinda proof it's all a waste. I mean, he plans on hauling me right back to Korystus when he's done with his trip. Our kind will never get along at this rate. Which is why I shouldn't be so tempted by Talys' offer to join him in his quarters. I gotta stick to my guns, though. I'm not taking a tumble in his sheets, and I'm definitely not going back to Korystus. So, all I have to do is stay out of his room, keep my mouth shut, and run for freedom when we land. Simple, right? The thing is... my self-control sucks, he's really good at getting a rise out of me, and I'm a terrible runner. This is going to be a long trip.
