This book handles a difficult subject remarkably well with plenty of nuances. Kade was trained from a young age to be a slave for his new master. Shipped for transport to his "owner" instead his container crash lands on another planet. Aiden is a military officer charged with investigating the landing site debris for salvageable materials. Caught under fire, he opens a container and comes across Kade. Kade immediately imprints on Aiden, believing him to be his new master.

Aiden has a difficult time with an imprinted slave. His culture rejects slave trade totally and he is highly uncomfortable with the concept. Still, he knows that many of these slave that inadvertently land on their planet succumb to suicide within several years. He decides to study the situation in depth with the aim to make sure Kade is happy and comfortable.

It immediately becomes clear that Kade is highly trained in military skills. He joins Aiden in his unit after being interviewed, tested, and trained to their methods. Still, Aiden struggles to deal with Kade at home as his master. He reluctantly accepts that it is mandatory that he shows Kade affection, friendship, and closeness to keep Kade fulfilled.

In the meantime, there are dangerous missions, political intrigue, and new faces. This book has detailed world-building, complex storylines, evolving personalities, and a beautiful love. I hope to see more from this world!
