After being kidnapped from Earth
by aliens and forced into slavery by the Jekmeerans, Zori
VanTeagun and her fellow Terrans have a plan to escape and make
it back home. Though commandeering a Jek ship seems impossible,
it may be their only hope, and they’re not giving up without a
fight.
Vergil Ond Hees Perd is tasked
with leading a troop to conquer a new planet, and if successful,
his crew will be there for a while. Needing a companion to keep
him fit both physically and mentally, he’s given the opportunity
to bind with a female of his choice, and he’s had his eye on one
particular redheaded Terran for a while.
Being forced to bind with a Jek
doesn’t settle well with Zori. She goes along with it (as if she
had a choice) to get information for the rebellion, but she’s
surprised to find out Ond actually cares for her. He knows she
doesn’t feel the same for him but hopes she’ll come to care for
him in time. When she learns why the Jeks are doing what they’re
doing, Zori is torn.
The two come from different
worlds, and have differing points of view. Ond sees it as saving
his species, Zori sees it as kidnapping and slavery. He can’t
blame her for fighting, and she can’t blame him for trying.
A rebellion is coming, but which
side will they fight for?

realizes the true meaning of love's sacrifice.
