When Simute Lutoni (Silkoneon), and Yoam Ana-Her (Standing) meet, an unlikely friendship forms between them, that slowly extends back to en-capture those who know them best. Including Yoam's older half brother Tao Karinal, who is tormented both by his father's suicide, and his parents' deception. And the enchanting Lillyannu Ashmar, who chooses her duty to her people over her own heart, cursing all those who would love her to share in her misery. But when both the Standing, and the Silkoneons fall to the mercy of a common enemy, can one selfish sacrifice really change the fate of man? Time Forgets is the first part of the Blood, Friendship, and Marriage Series.
