Tiny, a blind doctor, desperately wants normalcy and a chance to make a difference despite her disability. Yet, she's turned aside at every job application. In a twist of traumatic events, she lands a position on an ice hauler as the resident medic. But everything isn't as it seems. When a crewmate unexpectedly dies, she realizes that her 'safe' world holds a den of vipers, but blind and trapped, what can she do? Nenn's a Qaldreth male who pays the ultimate price to train with the Ivoyans. Chosen to accompany an Ivoyan servant on a quest to find who was behind the death of the Senate, he's hopeful for the chance to climb cliffs, explore space, and try this face-latching humans are fond of. When he meets a purple-haired female named Tiny, her blindness intrigues him as does her need for independence. The Ivoyans can heal her eyes without augmentation, but she'll have to return with him to Ivoy. Something he admits he yearns for. Except, exposing her to the Ivoyans might make her a target for experimentation, discrimination, or revenge-possibly all three. He must choose what he's willing to sacrifice: his tribe's honor, Tiny's life, or a chance at finding a love mate. Unless he can convince the Qaldreth Command Council and Tiny that she's perfect for him. Without starting a rebellion.
