"Contentment through unity. Protection through peace." Welcome to Gemarine: utopian home to a select group of Aranthers, Sytheracts and Humans. You can live a pleasant life with a meaningful job, integrate yourself within a non-judgemental community, participate in no-strings-attached copulation events and nurture your passion. But is it all just a fickle facade of frivolity? Is something sinister lurking beneath the leadership of Madame Bleu and her Inner Circle? After emerging from the wreckage of a crashed ship, a Human named Xan befriends a rare creature in the Wilds of Gemarine, forging a bond that sets them on a course across the far-reaching corners of the galaxy. Lilianna is a Sytheract who doesn't always fit in with the Gemarine way of life. Working in conservation with Xan, she is a quiet achiever, with a heart of gold and eyes to match. Juniper is a promiscuous Gemarinian with a quick wit and a quicker temper. After losing her arm in a brutal war, she commands a squad with a steely heart and a fierce determination. After Juniper accepts a rescue mission in a dangerous part of the galaxy, she finds herself face to face with an ancient enemy. Will Xan and his ragtag crew be able to save her? Or will they uncover a plot that unites the fate of all their former homeworlds? "Nothing is flawless in a galaxy built from chaos."
