A vrisha arrives in Grace's underwater city.
He takes over one of the substations, forcing the workers out. At the whim of her job, Grace is unwillingly chosen to go below, maintain the station, and stay with the horned, devilish alien.
That is how she comes to encounter Xora. An alien born from a race of dominant fighters and fierce hunters. He is as terrifying as he is mysterious. While also commanding, stubborn, unrelenting . . . and oddly mesmerizing. As her fear slips away, other emotions begin to take hold. And Grace finds she wants to know more.
Xora just wants to get off the cold, watery world as quickly as possible. Yet, despite his indifference to humans, he finds his attention captured by Grace. Against his own nature, he allows her near him. He's just too . . . curious.
For Grace, working with Xora could be dangerous. But when he desires her help on a secret mission, Grace can't refuse. Even if it could mean putting her job and life (and heart) at risk.
For Xora, Grace's help could be his best chance at getting home. Assuming he can keep his growing feelings for the bold woman from making him lose sight of why he's on Oceanus in the first place.
Contains mature themes.

Getting this out of the way now: I started and finished in a single sitting, completely engaged and invested.
Though a fairly short story at only over 8 hours, Olivia Riley packs a LOT in that time frame. With two main characters to focus on, it feels like enough time is dedicated to both as well as the relationship that builds between them. Nothing felt overly rushed and the dynamic between the two primary characters feels natural and organic.
The romance grows quickly but never feels rushed or forced, and the scenes are tasteful while fairly brief. The narrator does a good job of portraying the emotions of the characters and what they are experiencing.
Some readers may find this story simplistic and straight-forward, but I don't believe that is a bad thing. It accomplishes what it wants to do and never feels like you are struggling through filler throughout the story.
The second half truly shines as not only do you become increasingly invested in the characters, but also the underlying thread of conspiracy that takes place near the climax. The final chapters had me listening with anticipation and a continued eagerness to how it would all resolve, and I can certainly say I was not disappointed.
Strongly recommend giving this a listen for an engaging, heart-warming, affectionate, and fun story that won't feel like too strong of a time commitment. Definitely worth it.
An engaging listen from start to finish!
