    Summary

    Skye Vaillis has seen the fall of Humanity. She's watched the broadcasts, days' worth, of strong-willed Terran freedom fighters being broken down into eager toys for the plant xenos that now run the Milky Way and beyond. More than two years after the Accord has collapsed and left every lingering "feral" to fend for themselves, she wrestles with the decade-long itch of severe drug addiction, and the endless urges to relapse. Her ragtag crew has held together astoundingly well under the watch of Ophelia Oros, a woman Skye earnestly believes to be humanity's last, best hope for freedom. She's all they've got, the last wild card in the deck.

    A supply run goes wrong, and Skye is offered a simple bargain for a few last hits of her drug of choice, before she gets clean forever. All she has to do is leave one door cracked open, for just a moment. She won't be getting her drug of choice, either; she'll be getting the healthier, plant-derived version directly from the source.

    One day, she'll come to terms with it all.

    Summary

    Thistle, a first-bloom Affini aspiring to be a feral breaker, is given her first floret. Expecting someone she can break and shape as she pleases, she's surprised to find her new charge seems too exhausted to react to anything she does. Thistle has to learn to adapt to her floret and help them recover rather than tearing them down to rebuild anew.
