As the one Karalian who has always sympathised with Earth, Okil is at last given the chance to take a lottery winner as his mate. He doesn't need to go through any selection process, he has known for months who he will choose as the mother of his child.
But since his last visit to Earth, the woman he loves, has become embroiled in something sinister. Will Okil risk everything for the woman he loves?
Where does his true devotion lie? With the Karal, or humans? Can he find a way to make the two compatible?
When he smuggles a human male child on to Karal, breaking their laws, it appears he has made his choice. Things are further upset with surprise news of Elissa, the first lottery winner’s, unborn child. Is there a way to stop all his plans unravelling and still convince the Hier Council to send out the Deep Space Mission?
Or is Okil, along with the entire human race, doomed to die?
