This book takes place after an event known as The Shift where Earth and humanity were almost decimated, and aliens we vacuumed through and deposited in a mirror of their planet, divided into different territories. Humans live mostly in poverty on the edges of civilization, and the best hope for women to have a better life is to submit a blood sample to a matchmaking temple to find the perfect match based on DNA compatibility.
“It feels numinous to be inside you. I never thought… But it is. I want to worship you. I want to never leave. I want to always be in you, so close, so warm and alive…” - Virgil
May is an orphaned human young lady that has been abused in multiple ways, and made to believe that she is less than in every way possible by the head of the orphanage. Virgil is a Lich, an undead alien race with skeletal-like bodies that feed off energy. I adore Virgil. He doesn’t know much about interacting with humans, but he truly wants to give May the world he knows she deserves. He’s very patient with her, but ultimately pushes her when he sees that giving her space and patience to adapt to having a husband like him made him almost lose her. Their love story is dark and achingly beautiful, and both deserve happiness and to be loved.
