I thought being sentenced to a prison planet would crush my soul. Instead, I found a love that made me whole. The deadening of your spirit starts the second you land on Jurtik – the infamous prison planet feared throughout the galaxy.

An alien warrior named Kyp. He’s a small ray of light that keeps me sane in this literal Hell from which there is no running from. He protects me from the roving gangs. He watches over me from the corrupt jailers. And he’ll show me a wonderful secret – something hidden at the core of this planet that others are trying to kill him for to find out. It’ll change both of our lives forever. One day, one hour, one minute, one second at a time, we will make it through this bleak existence. Together.
