Interstellar Marshal Leonard endures terminal alien corruption in his bloodstream, contracted years ago when he threw himself into enemy fire to save a royal young girl. Medical droids declare his condition untreatable until he crosses paths with Vera, a sheltered amnesiac maiden who possesses a rare cellular frequency capable of absorbing the toxic infection.
Their magnetic connection is shadowed by a cruel biological reality: every cleansing touch transfers the lethal pathogen into Vera's fragile frame, slowly draining her life force. As envious imperial factions scheme to weaponize their bond and extraterrestrial armadas breach orbital defenses, the star marshal must find an ancient cure before his physical salvation extinguishes the woman he adores.
