He was never meant to survive Norvela VII.
Lieutenant Colonel Tyaal Veriss should have died in the crash. Instead, he awakens to a galaxy still at war and to Captain Taleinia Marisala, the officer who pulled him from the wreckage.
On her world, saving a life is not an act of heroism. It is a covenant. A bond forged in battle that cannot be undone.
Veriss did not choose it.
The war between the Maynerian Dynasty and the Amosian Contingency has endured for generations. Only one sacred line prevents total annihilation: civilians are not to be touched. The Jyceria Accords are the last restraint in a galaxy sustained by vengeance, and those who violate them are erased without mercy.
Forced back into service before his body or conscience have healed, Veriss must enforce a law that holds civilization together while navigating a bond that could fracture his command, his loyalties, and the fragile balance of power.
In a war where one broken boundary can burn entire worlds, love is not comfort.
It is liability.
