The Elements

Lieutenant Azure Lynwood has worked hard to earn his place in the Space Corps, overcoming centuries of bias and discrimination against omegas. Travelling across the solar system and exploring new worlds comes with its share of complications, but Azure has proven himself a worthy member of his team, and he’s ready for anything the solar system can throw at him. Or, at least, he thinks so, until a supposedly routine mission goes awry.

Major Tor Savan has built his career on one fundamental principle – protect planet Earth, whatever the personal cost. To a certain degree, he’s succeeded, warning Earth about a deadly missile strike from Mars and then being injured as his own ship fought in the battle. But as the dust settles after the attack, Tor learns that a new crisis is threatening the planet.

After years of serving Earth in the Space Corps, Lieutenant Azure Lynwood only really wants one thing; to be able to publicly acknowledge his alpha lover, Major Tor Savan, and to begin building a life together. But centuries of tradition and ingrained social biases are not so easily swept aside, and when Space Corps brass finds out about their affair, Tor is swiftly arrested. Thankfully, help is on the way. Tor assures Azure that he’s friends with a brilliant lawyer who specialises in alpha and omega cases. The news is heartening…
