Kate has had enough. Her research pod went down after the Generation ship crashed and now she's stuck on the steaming hot hell that is Tajss. The handful of people that survived initial contact with the planet's monstrous creatures have been forced underground into darkness. Worse is Annabel, self-appointed tyrannical leader of their small group. After a blow up that's the final straw, Kate and several others leave in search of other survivors and a better life. Errol is hiding from a half-remembered past he doesn't want to face. The other Zmaj males of the Tribe are finding their mates among the human females but none spark a fire in his heart. None are his treasure. His past is too painful and with no mate, the seven foot winged and scaled craftsman has no future. Trying to outrun his memories starts a crash course trajectory right into Kate, where the past will collide with the present and forever change the future.
