Can two lost souls complete one another? Damaris Trant has never been alone...until now. Not only is he stuck on planet Earth, his six Strazanian comrades-rares with special powers just like him-are scattered around the city of New Faxian like confetti to avoid an enemy that has already wiped out the rest of their species. Damaris doesn't even know if his comrades are still alive since landing on Earth. Despite his purple scale coloring making him a lower caste, his rare powers, which had elevated his standing on his planet Strazan, are now erratic at best. Add to that the memories of his deceased family, and he's rendered even more powerless. Then he meets Callie, and his already topsy-turvy life is turned upside down. She's an addict who sees things differently. That she doesn't find Damaris abnormal is beyond appealing to his peace of mind. If only she didn't also see him as just another man without a conscience. After Callie Trueberry lost her family to a house fire, she fell into a dysfunctional world of her own making. Chemicals and alcohol might decay her mind, but at least she's no longer half-mad with grief. Then she stumbles into Damaris and wishes she was the girl she used to be, a girl who would have turned his head and perhaps even won his heart. He is everything she's ever wanted in a man, their shared grief binding them closer still. But will he stand by her side as she cleans her body and her mind while enemies are hunting him down, or will he be lost to her forever?
