There's only one survivor in the spacecraft that crash-landed on the alien planet of Nilrav 025, and young xenoanalyst Koa is tasked to lead the research for this strange creature. But things take a turn for the worst when the problematic scientist starts getting attached to his experiment. # "Is that..." I stopped myself, unable to process that fact that I was face to face with a human. Standing right in front of me. A real human. "A human...?" I whispered softly, scared that if I might say it too loud it would slip away from my fingertips, never to be seen again.

Ray is low on time, luck, and hope; his only chance is an artifact that may not even exist. But upon meeting Landon, Ray is beginning to believe he might find all four. ***** Cambions are doomed to tragedy. They are weak, sickly creatures that rarely live to see their twentieth year.

He is not prepared for Landon. Landon is an orphan with no memories of his parents, the only inheritance left to him a dagger, sleeping in a crimson sheath.
