After Earth fell to war and ruin, the last of humanity was scattered across the stars. She was one of them-soft-spoken, wide-eyed, and far too gentle for the chaos she'd survived. When she's sent to a distant alien world, she expects nothing but cold protocol and uncertain survival.
What she finds instead is a Choosing.
They are not human. Towering, beastly, and covered in armor-like scales, the males of this proud, ancient species have lost all their females to a silent plague. Desperation weighs heavy on their honor-bound culture-but so does hope. One by one, each male steps forward to choose a human.
And he chooses her.
Silent. Massive. Fiercely loyal. He doesn't speak her language, but his actions say enough: he will protect her, cherish her, and never let harm touch her again. As she learns his world-its customs, its comforts, its thunderstorms and gentle warmth-she also learns him. And in the safety of his arms, she finds something she thought the stars had taken from her forever: a home.
