Dal\u00ed Tamareia has everything\u2014a young family and a promising career as an Ambassador in the Sol Fed Diplomatic Corps. Dal\u00ed\u2019s path as a peacemaker seems clear, but when their loved ones are killed in a terrorist attack, grief sends the genderfluid changeling into a spiral of self-destruction.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fragile Sol Fed balances on the brink of war with a plundering alien race. Their skills with galactic relations are desperately needed to broker a protective alliance, but in mourning, Dal\u00ed no longer cares, seeking oblivion at the bottom of a bottle, in the arms of a faceless lover, or at the end of a knife.<\/p>\n

The New Puritan Movement is rising to power within the government, preaching strict genetic counseling and galactic isolation to ensure survival of the endangered human race. Third gender citizens like Dal\u00ed don\u2019t fit the mold of this perfect plan, and the NPM will stop at nothing to make their vision become reality. When Dal\u00ed stumbles into a plot threatening changelings like them, a shadow organization called the Penumbra recruits them for a rescue mission full of danger, sex, and intrigue, giving Dal\u00ed purpose again.<\/p>\n

Risky liaisons with a sexy, charismatic pirate lord could be Dal\u00ed\u2019s undoing\u2014and the only way to prevent another deadly act of domestic terrorism.<\/p>\n
