Kaira and Aehako have happily mated and are expecting a baby. Everything is just fine... but is it so? For the good-natured Aehako has turned into the most obsessively hovering over the soul of a husband and is literally driving everyone living in the cave crazy. Kaira believes that it is time to rest... in a way. Brief summary: This story takes place approximately six months after the events described in The 3rd book in the “Barbarians of the Ice Planet” series (“The Barbarian’s Beloved”). This is not an independent story, but acts as a kind of “re-return” to these characters and their history.
