Between the long, hard hours he works as an S class Space Courier and the ever-looming mountain of debt he’s desperately trying to climb, Lee Antona’s been having a rough go. Things don’t get better for him when he’s attacked by pirates; he’s overpowered, captured, and sold. Great. And his new owners? The Dresht, a reclusive species that Lee knows very little about. But the Dresht seem to think they know a lot about him. They say Lee’s a highly-coveted yshain. A vessel. A vessel for Dresht eggs. The Alien Clutch Prequel has a 6 dove rating on the Dove Scale.
