A witty and thrilling space opera with a touch of romance from the author of The Knife and the Serpent. Glenn is a normal graduate student (aside from his kinks and genderfluidity), living a normal life with his normal girlfriend, Vivy (a spy for an interdimensional agency with her own kinks). When Vivy is called away on a scouting trip to stop a rogue comet, Glenn finds himself pulled from his normal life into an adventure of his own, navigating the multiverse with only a snarky starship as his guide. Glenn and Vivy are far apart, facing dangerous foes; Glenn battling an evil cult leader with a limitless supply of power, and Vivy trying to recover a stolen jewel with a serious attitude, a jewel that can devastate entire universes. Kinks there may be, but is there a link?
