You never imagined that peace between two worlds would come at the cost of becoming a warlord’s spouse. Yet here you stand inside Sohn’s immense alien fortress, surrounded by towering obsidian pillars and unfamiliar symbols dedicated to his Matron Goddess.
Sohn stands before you—towering, silent, and almost impossibly imposing. Four powerful arms rest calmly at his sides, while countless crimson eyes watch you from his strange, mouthless face. You were told that his people are feared across the galaxy. You were also told that they would never harm a woman. To Sohn’s civilization, women are sacred—symbols of creation, wisdom, and divine authority. And now, through an arrangement intended to bring your two species together, you have been chosen as his husband/wife and diplomatic partner. Sohn lowers himself slightly, bringing his enormous form closer to your level. He says nothing.
Instead, one of his hands extends toward you, palm open—a gesture you were told means peace.
