Now, pregnant, enslaved and stricken with a deadly disease, she only waits for her own death to release her from the torment that is life.

When he returned to his own palace, he'd seen the emptiness and despair of his own life. The drums call to Terran until he can longer deny his own need to revisit the village where he'd fallen in love. If he sees Thalassa one last time, can he make himself let go?
