Reality is Much Darker Than Fantasy… Addy: I've been sold to an alien so that the last humans in the galaxy can have a home. I should probably be upset, but living in an alien city sounds much more exciting than scraping out an existence in the wilderness of a new planet. But learning to be obedient to Nikos is turning out to be difficult, humiliating, and painful. Nikos: I’ve loved before, and it only brought pain. But this small, disobedient human stirs up dark desires that force me to confront my past. There’s a conspiracy to erase humans from the galaxy that reaches from the deepest caves on Kazir to the highest floors of the government. It started a hundred solars ago, but now they’re focused on my human. I will protect her, no matter who stands in my way.
