Two years after the Reapers fall, the galaxy is rebuilding-and still afraid of what survived.
Falere t'Serra, an Ardat-Yakshi left behind in the ruins of the Lesuss monastery, lives in isolation, honoring a promise to remain alone after the war took everything from her. Elara Voss, a human survivor of Reaper harvesting, is something the galaxy refuses to understand: a living hybrid, part flesh and part machine, hunted as a monster for surviving intact.
When Elara crashes on Lesuss, two outcasts collide in the shadow of destruction. Bound by grief, fear, and forbidden desire, they discover a fragile connection that defies everything they were taught to hate about themselves. But in a galaxy still terrified of Reaper remnants and Ardat-Yakshi alike, survival may demand more than solitude.
In the ruins of a forgotten world, love becomes an act of defiance-and healing a risk worth taking.
