All she thought she ever wanted was freedom.
Desperate for the chance to make her mark upon a world, Ariagne sneaks aboard the shuttle of the new justiciar of Elysion, intent on persuading him to accept her terraforming services in exchange for escape from her step-mother.
All he thought he had was law and the dispensation of order.
Aidoneus is used to being the rational one, the cold one. Serving as justiciar on an icy mining planet seems apropos for a man such as he.
Turns out that wasn't the full truth for either of them. Together, they will discover that there can be joy to being bound, and that even the most logical of justiciars can fall to love.
A re-telling of the myth of Hades and Persephone.
