Matthew Heraclius was once just another war orphan raised in the Human Republic's elite Ghost Legion.  Now, when he teleports to the distant colony of Helivran, he's on a top-secret mission for the Empress of the Republic Herself.

Once on Helivran, Matt learns he's been ordered to exterminate the local population of genetically-engineered human/wolf chimeras to gain control of an alien artifact of awesome power.  Instead, he leads a revolt to stop the genocide and marries the enemy leader to cement a peace deal.

On Helivran, Matt finds new purpose and a sense of family, and when he realizes he's falling in love with his husband, he risks everything to rebel against his beloved Ghost Legion to protect their home from the approaching forces of the Human Republic.
