Azure Rittca has run away from her father in search of the legendary leader of the Union Movement to ask for asylum to save herself and her cousin from bad marriages but what she finds at the peace talks is Lone Lamin. He is her intimate, the one male in the universe who matches her trinity-of-being, her body, mind and spirit. Lone, a dual-blood, does not want to bond with Azure who belongs to the race that has done him and his family a lot of harm. Still, he has never felt so at peace than when she is in his arms. Together they must overcome the prejudices that have kept their races apart for over three hundred years.
