Med-tech Abbie Brown journeys to Valtar, an ancient, male dominated world, hoping to discover why the Valtarie face extinction. Despite their looks, the silver-winged Valtarie are not angels, but the race can't really be vampires, can they? Traveen, second son of Valtar's ruler, pilots the crystal ship escorting Abbie. Valtarie Law forbids males to touch a female, and to do so means death. When a storm forces them to crash land on a deserted ice planet, Traveen has no choice but to touch Abbie to keep her alive. Abbie survives, and she rescues Traveen from execution. But after they escape, Abbie finds herself falling in love with Traveen. But is it really love, or is it his hypnotic eyes and harmonic voice that are inherent for captivating females . . .
