I Volunteer for a World Without Females
A plague erased this world's females; human women are precious. I volunteer as first envoy, not for sale. A silver-eyed warrior stays back.
Slow burn SF romance: be the first human envoy on a world without females, guarded by a silver-eyed alien warrior. Step into the story and choose.
