When Jeremiah arrived at Megiddo Station, all he wanted was to make some trades and resupply his starship. He never thought he'd come away with a wife.
Before he knows it, he's back on his ship, alone with his accidental bride. Since neither of them speak the same language, he has no way to tell her that there's been a terrible mistake. And because of the deadly famine ravaging her home, there's no going back. She's entirely at his mercy, and that terrifies him more than anything.
Jeremiah isn't ready to take responsibility for anyone. He's a star wanderer, roaming the Outworld frontier in search of his fortune. Someday he'll settle down, but for now, he just wants to drop the girl off at the next port and move on.
As he soon finds out though, she has other plans.

When Joe Vasicek was seven years old, he saw Star Wars IV: A New Hope and instantly fell in love with all things science fiction. A year later, when he read A Wrinkle in Time and The Neverending Story, he knew he was destined to be a writer.
As a young man, he spent several years as a global nomad, criss-crossing the United States and trekking across the mountains of the Caucasus, the shores of the Mediterranean, the Bedouin deserts of Jordan and Egypt, and the gilded domes of the Holy Land. One day, he hopes to have the opportunity to travel to space, but for now he can only do so through his books. Wherever he goes, though, he's always writing.
