As the slumbering city awakens, two Hienial males who have hated each other since childhood, learn that they share an Amazonian Mate. When the Lady Goddess insists that they must work together and put their rivalry aside if they are to convince Mercy to mate with them, Nicolao and Timon put aside their grievances thankful to have a chance at having a woman to call their own.

When Mercy discovers that a diseased Hienial has escaped his quarantined stasis pod and has left the planet intent on returning to his home world, she'll do anything to stop him. She's not about to let another person suffer at the hands of such an abomination if she can help it.

Needing to be with their mate, Nic and Tim will do whatever they must to convince her to let them accompany her, desperate for a chance to prove that not all males are unworthy of her. But can the new triad not only find a once in a lifetime love but prevent the spread of the disease that had once taken the lives of so many Hienials and plunged the known galaxies into the deadly war that had lasted generations?
