To survive as an alien tyrant's husband, he'll need to grab his new life by the horns.

A late shift watching an empty cell in a middle-of-nowhere facility? Sign Grant up. If the money's good, he'll gladly take the peace and quiet of a long, boring night.

And then he meets the prisoner: Subject B-31. Blue, beautiful, and inhuman.

He's told to think of her as a test subject, not a person. He's told to ignore the sorrow on her face and the desperation in her crimson eyes. Maybe he should have listened. Because his rescue attempt quickly turns into an alien abduction.

B-31 is Sykora, a princess of the tyrannical Taiikari Empire, who whisks Grant into a galaxy filled with alien cultures, deadly rivals, and the sinister smiles of the Taiikari royal court. Grant will have to learn a new life, and learn it fast.

Because when the Princess of the Void looks at Grant, she doesn't just see a savior—she sees a husband.

And she isn't asking.

What to expect a long-developing mono romance taking place within an amoral (but not cartoonishly evil) galactic empire; royal intrigue within a large, colorful cast of aliens; moral ambiguity and some tricky questions without clear answers; a strong-willed, ethical protagonist who starts as an everyman way over his head and gradually accepts his powerful new position.
