What heโs been taught to fear could be his destinyโฆand his only hope. Adam Yuga, a rising young star in the imperialist Terran Protectorate, is on the verge of a massive promotionโฆuntil a routine physical exam reveals something less than perfection. Genetic flaws are taboo, and Adam soon discovers thereโs a thin line between rising star and starving outcast. Stripped of wealth and position, stricken with a mysterious, worsening illness, Adam resorts to stealing credits to survive. Moments from capture by the Protectorate, help arrives in the form of Lochlan, a brash, cocksure Bideshi fighter. Now the Bideshi, a people long shunned by the Protectorate, are the only ones who will offer him shelter. As Adam learns the truth about the mysterious, nomadic people he was taught to fear, Lochlan offers him not just shelterโbut a temptation Adam can only resist for so long. Struggling to adapt to his new life, Adam discovers his illness hides a terrible secret, one that the Protectorate will stop at nothing to conceal. Time is growing short, and he must find the strength to close a centuries-old rift, accept a new identityโand hold on to a love that could cost him everything. Warning: This title contains brief scenes of explicit violence and mild but potentially triggering homophobia.
