Plot synopsis

Acorna's lifemate, Aari, has returned home, and the two may together finish rebuilding their home world. Yet the Aari that has returned from his time travels is different from the one who left, to the point that he almost doesn't remember Acorna or the love that the two shared together. During the confusion while Acorna shifts her attention to stopping a violent criminal from harming innocents, the wicked Khleevi return to retake the planet and destroy the Linyaari and conquer their world. It takes all of Acorna's will to rescue the Aari she loves and put a stop to the Khleevi menace.
