An Alpha commander rules over a violent planet until a lowly breeder slave changes his world.
Commander Dak, is one of five rulers of planet Parseon, a caste society that has enslaved its women and outlawed love. As Alpha he is responsible for maintaining the “Protocol” in his province. In need of an heir to secure his legacy, he purchases a female breeding slave intending to impregnate her, produce a son, and then discard her.
But the gentle Omra instead bears a quiet strength and perceptiveness that opens his eyes to brutality and arbitrary nature of Parseon culture. As Dak falls in love with her, he begins to question the truths he once held immutable.
But the commander has powerful enemies who won’t hesitate use his devotion to Omra against him and deem him unfit to rule.
Can he expose the cruelty and lies in Parseon culture or will the Protocol he’s spent his life defending be the weapon used to destroy Omra and their love?
