The Sub-Species Contract

In a galaxy where contracts matter more than conscience, Cyrus Morgan works for the International Security Conglomerate-an outfit known for one thing: finishing the job, no questions asked.

When a routine escort mission turns into a midair assassination attempt, Cyrus barely survives, only to be pulled into something far more dangerous. A powerful figure from New Earthia-an advanced world inhabited entirely by anthropomorphic beings-has made a private request. Not to ISC, but to Cyrus himself.

His daughter is missing.

She wasn't just anyone. She carried the rare genetic lineage required to birth New Earthia's next leader. Her disappearance threatens not only a family, but the future of an entire world.

The trail leads to Earth, where a newly opened Demi-Human megastore is quietly supplying anthro "companions" to eager buyers. Officially, it's legal. Unofficially, it shouldn't be possible.

As Cyrus digs deeper, he uncovers a system built on blurred lines-where some anthros arrive willingly, others vanish without a trace, and no one is asking the right questions.

When he finally finds the girl, she's not the person he was sent to retrieve. Her memory is gone, her identity erased, and the world she came from means nothing to her.

Now hunted by the very systems he once worked for, Cyrus must decide where he stands.

Because in a world where everything has a price...

some things were never meant to be sold.
