Thalia dreams of being rescued and claimed by handsome Alphan warriors.
But her Xyran captor sets terrible traps for her potential saviors.
When she takes matters into her own hands by stowing away on an Alphan ship, Thalia doesn't expect her welcome on Alpha to be contested by anti-human
Purists or come with a deadline. Despite the help of her new friends, if she can't secure a bond in one week's time she'll be sent back to a dying Earth.
