Mihile

  I hate being trapped underground. With the planet Quasar uninhabitable on the surface, my entire life has been spent without sunlight. Since I was born blind, it’s kind of fitting.

With my lack of vision and light skin and hair, I represent not only the most unique features of our species, but also the most shunned. Even with my political connections, I have few friends and no female prospects for any kind of commitment.

I think I’ll always be alone in the dark until I see her.  Suddenly, my sight begins forming, and my already excellent hearing becomes super charged. Now, I find out almost everything I believed was a lie. Our planet is inhabited above ground, and even though my doctors don’t tell me themselves, I’ve mated.

I’ll never be alone again—if my mate makes it to me.

The ruling bodies of Quasar are conspiring against the males who’ve mated… maybe even killing them. Will the spacecraft carrying my mate make it to Quasar? And when they do, will we be able to expose the conspiracy and all those involved?

How can we possibly stop something that runs so deep, when there’s no way to let everyone know the truth?
