    Summary

    Ryland Grace has lost everything: his career, his home, his reputation, and the brother who stopped answering when he needed him most. When a beautiful stranger offers him coffee on a freezing night, Ryland is too exhausted to wonder why the man looks at him like a ghost.

    He wakes underground.

    ===

    Tom Ryder remembers the end of the world.

    He remembers the cold, the hunger, the wars, the dying sun. He remembers Ryland Grace vanishing into space aboard the Hail Mary. Most of all, he remembers loving him — and losing him.

    When Tom wakes in the past, before Ryland knows him, before the Petrova line, before the mission that will take him away, he decides that grief has made him wiser than morality. He builds a hidden refuge beneath the Nevada desert, stocked with everything Ryland will need to solve the astrophage problem before the world comes calling.

    Then he kidnaps him.

    Summary

    Adrian lingers at the entrance of Rocky's workshop, clicking their claws nervously.

    "The Recordkeepers took Grace away earlier," they chitter. "They had him try on his mating ceremony outfit. Apparently, the tailors finished it just a few cycles ago."

    Rocky stills—his tools hovering precariously over half-soldered xenonite, current task forgotten. Equal parts dread and desire wash over him, and he shudders at the mental waveform being conjured. "And what did you think?"

    Softly and sadly, Adrian admits, "Grace sounded beautiful in it. Beautiful in the sense that a butterfly is beautiful when its wings are pinned to a base for display. A gorgeous specimen, twisted to fit standards it was never meant to conform to."

    Or: Arranged marriages are common practice on Erid. It should come as no surprise when Rocky and Adrian are made to take Grace as their mate.

    Summary

    Captain Simon Park and his crew agree to kidnap Lord Ryland Grace for ransom.

    It ought to be simple enough: take the supposedly sickly heir from his father’s estate, keep him safely aboard the Iron Starling for a handful of weeks, and return him once Count Grace decides his only son is worth paying for.

    Except Ryland is neither sickly nor difficult. He is polite, capable, strangely resigned to his own captivity—and, before long, slipping into lessons beneath the open sky, shared meals, borrowed names, and the quiet rituals of a crew that has made a family out of the unwanted.

    Then the ransom goes unanswered.

    And Simon begins to wonder whether anyone ashore ever intended for Lord Ryland Grace to come home at all.
