Ondry and Liam have finally earned the rank to conduct high-level trades with the Imshee for the ability to genetically lengthen the lifespan of Liam and Zach Mora. Ondry is annoyed by Mora and confused and alarmed by the Grandmother’s decision to allow Mora to bring his childhood predator with him on the ship. However, as the saying goes, a Grandmother does not take a step in any direction without seeing three sources of profit.
This time the profit could be a happily ever after for Ondry and Liam. However, as Ondry has already learned, when inter-species communication is involved, nothing is simple. Individuals can only guess at what another might be thinking, and when the other party is an alien species with different social and biological influences, those assumptions are estimations at best and disastrously wrong at worst.
