Summary
2174. Admiral Hackett has just recommended twenty-year-old Marika Shepard for a one-year Alliance-Turian military exchange. Tasked with training at a base near Cipritine, she finds herself immersed in a world that’s not quite ready to forgive, or forget. Seventeen years after the First Contact War, scars remain—and for a human in turian ranks, respect doesn’t come easy.
But amidst the rigid discipline and unspoken resentments, Marika finds something she never expected: belonging. And in one sharp-eyed medic with a laugh like sunlight—something even rarer.
Learning to fight alongside turians is hard. Falling for one? Surprisingly easy.
