Mahra Kaitan can navigate a jump gate now ? but she still can't navigate her own crew. As CoCee pushes deeper into contested space, Timon calls her out for the very thing that's kept her alive: her isolation, her refusal to let anyone close. She doesn't listen. Not at first.
While Mahra trains a new generation of navigators and stumbles into something real with Jacinda, the real threat has been circling unseen ? Valdor Carr resurfaces, working an angle even he doesn't fully understand, manipulated by a woman whose true loyalties run deeper than anyone realizes. And at the edge of everything Mahra thought she understood about the war, something far older than the Sirona finally shows itself. Something that doesn't see humanity as a threat worth fighting.
Something that simply says: go home.
Book 2 of The Sirona Cycle.
