Publisher's Summary

Ondry and Liam have settled into a good life, but their trading is still tied up with humans, and humans are always messy. When political changes at the human base lead Ondry to attempt a difficult trade, the pair find themselves entangled in human affairs. Liam wants to help the people he left and the worlds being torn apart. He also wants to serve Ondry with not only the pleasures of the nest but also by bringing human profits.

Ondry has no hope of understanding human psychology in general, he only knows that he will hold onto his palteia with the last breath in his body, and he'd like to keep his status and his wealth too. Unfortunately, new humans bring new conflicts and he is not sure how to protect Liam. He does know one thing that humans seem to constantly forget - that the peaceful Rownt are predators and when their families are threatened, Rownt become deadly killers. Liam is his family, and Ondry will protect him with his last breath...assuming that he can recognize the dangers in time to do so.

Contains mature themes.

Surprising Engaging Sequel

I love this series as it combines a sexy sweet romance with real alien concepts and world building down to the linguistics. This was a surprising and engaging sequel with developing potential for the next books.

Great sci-fi world, great story, great characters!

I loved this even more than the first book. Liam and Ondry have settled into a peaceful life of trade on the Rownt home world when the Earth Military offer intelligence trades that put their lives in danger. Whereas the first book focussed a lot on Liam and Ondry’s developing relationship and their cultural differences, this book focussed on interplanetary tensions, global cultural differences, and attitudes to war and I enjoyed the wider themes. I’m looking forward to the other books! 🎧 National treasure, John Solo gives a perfect narrative performance.
