INDEX AND IMPORTANT INFO

Born a hybrid 'dilute' in the slums of a Nok city-state, Mal finds it difficult to reconnect with his culture when his Nok father buys him and his mother's freedom from the Nok Elite house that had indentured his family for generations.

Now an adult in the middle of Toban mandatory military training, Mal's dormant powers uncover a Nok plot to restart the war of extermination through carefully crafted PSYOPS to disrupt the ongoing, yet stressed peace between the species.

Desperate to get the news to his father and end a war before it even begins, Mal travels with X'eno - a Nok mercenary who is his lover, and three Tobans - one of them being a rejected romantic prospect.
