But Garrus hasn't ever felt that spark - not until a certain human female appears on the Citadel one day to marry a Turian Spectre.
Garrus Vakarian is not that man.
But he feels magnetised towards her instantly - in ways he can't begin to explain - and he doesn't know what the hell to do about it.
How can Garrus convince Commander Shepherd that they're bond mates if he isn't even sure what that means?
How do you tell someone that they were always meant to be yours?
A new inter-galactic war looms on the horizon if Shepard refuses Nihlus's hand. What will she choose: duty or love?
