Hoara Felin has fallen in love with a man who is forbidden to leave the planet. Plus, he's not quite a man...

Junior Commander Hoara Felin of the Republic's Space Fleet has problems. Her ship is inoperable and her shipmates are dead. The only thing that can make a bad situation worse is finding she has crashed on the notorious prison-planet of Bliss—a place where condemned criminals are sent...but never leave.

She finds an unexpected ally in Toh, a caring man who treats her injuries and hides her from those who would hold an officer of the Space Fleet for ransom. But, as Hoara is about to find out, Toh is keeping a terrifying secret of his own.
