Amina and Myrum both have secrets and loved ones to keep safe. Trust won’t come easy, but perhaps love will pave the way.
Myrum
Myrum thinks he's done serving the empire. After being badly traumatized during the last war, he finally returns home, expecting to live a quiet life and perhaps even persuade one of the human pets on Kalor to spend time with him. That’s all shattered when a request comes from someone he can’t refuse. He has no choice but to go on one last secret mission.
He’s not sure if he cares if he comes back alive or not. Then he meets Amina and everything changes!
Amina
Amina is intrigued the moment she meets Myrum. As a human, she’s used to being ignored at best and treated as non-sapient at worst, but Myrum is different. He’s friendly, sweet, and attentive.
Despite his cheerful, carefree attitude, she can tell he’s hiding some old wounds. He’s also secretive about where he’s going and why. As they grow closer, she's more worried about him and everything he’s not telling her.
Despite Myrum’s secrets, she’s determined to stay at his side. He needs backup , and she’s ready to teach anyone who tries to hurt him that small doesn’t mean defenseless!
