She was the child of his heart. Then she
grew up to become the love of his life.
A hundred years ago, the last people of Earth landed on planet AR617b. It was their only hope after being forced to flee the dead planet that was once their ancestral home.
The native inhabitants of AR617b, known as gerons, are sentient creatures that resemble a cross between dragons and griffins of old Earth lore. When they initially tried to destroy the settlers, a deal was made to ensure both species' survival. It was decided that each year, every five-year-old human child must take The Walk across a hundred meter field. If they don't stop or run, they will arrive safely on the other side, and be allowed to grow up and have families of their own. But if they break the rule, the gerons will kill them. Unless, by a strange quirk of fate, a geron decides to Pair with the child, taking and raising the human as its own.
Emmala
took The Walk, and found herself adopted by one of the older
gerons, an immense silvery-white creature named Zonaton. For
the next fifteen years, he cared for her, protected her, and
loved her. But now Emmala's real family wants her back,
and they will do everything they can to have her returned,
even if it means killing Zonaton, and starting an all-out war
with the gerons.
What
neither the settlers nor gerons realize is that there is
another alien species watching and waiting for the two
combatants to go into battle. Because when they do, that will
be the aliens’ cue to destroy everyone and claim AR617b
for their own.
Warning! Contains green fire, arrogant assholes, plunderberries, child abuse, rectangular spaceships, shadows on the wall, and a love so great, it defies death.
