The craving is an undeniable urge that drives K'Dane citizens to find their life mates-if only to sate their uncontrollable physical longings. Thrilled at being named a Chosen, Phoenix Dotir leaves K'Dane to become an artist-monk who will create dimensional art capable of changing worlds. Living by the monastery's Principles of Purity will surely help him overcome the craving. But he never accounted for star chaser Zadra Solav. Zadra doesn't believe in rules and makes his own future. Fate separates him from the man he loves, but one touch renders him helpless to his own desires. Bonding with a monk is forbidden, and Zadra's family sends him to deep space to avoid disgrace. Unable to give up, Zadra must find a way to reunite with his Chosen. Tormented by enforced separation, Initiate Riva Quinton struggles with his vow of chastity and risks all to rescue his lover. Together with his Eros, he stows away onboard a star craft to follow his heart. Four men defy destiny and tradition for love… but their love is a crime punishable by death.
