Zhor, the Zentaran captain of the pirate spaceship Corsair, has just received word of a disabled freighter ripe for scavenging. But as he passes the slave market on the way to his ship, he feels an inexplicable desire for the pathetic human about to be auctioned off. In a moment of drunken pity, Zhor buys the human to save him, thinking he can simply set him free. But he didn't plan on the new slave technology—a control tag that unbreakably binds the slave to the master. Or the fact that it compels the slave to fulfill his master's every unspoken desire.
And Zhor can't deny this inexplicable desire. The word rhuza fills Zhor's mind, the Zentaran belief in one’s destined mate. But he doesn’t believe in rhuza, and he doesn’t want a mate—especially one who’s compelled against his will to serve him. Zhor has to find a way to get the human off his ship. But Parker’s just been voted onto the crew. And he’s located one of his friends and is demanding a rescue. And now, he’s discovered a dangerous cargo aboard the freighter that could change their simple salvage job into an interstellar mission—a mission that might get them all killed…
