The Purpose of Sanctuary

Forced to leave Earth earlier than planned, Jon returns to a Daran that is on the verge of civil war.

The threats to Jon escalate after news concerning his hybrid DNA is publicly released, bringing the conflict to the breaking point, his life held in the balance.

Knowing he will be on 'house arrest' again doesn't soften its impact on Jon, and he chafes under his inability to help his life mate in any way.

The situation isn't helped by Talin's militant acceptance of his Warrior mentality, and his threats to Jon, even given for his safety, feel like betrayal.

Jon wants to return to Earth for his sister Emma's wedding. He wants Talin to be the Daranii he's bonded to, not the Warrior who commands him.

Will their relationship survive what Talin must do to protect him?

Can Jon accept the sacrifices made on his behalf without sacrificing himself?
