To save their civilisation, the decision Zaran and Cristal must make will change their lives forever.
Zaran has it all. He’s flight lieutenant on the space cruiser Atria, promised to a woman of impeccable lineage. But the decision he’s being forced to take threatens both his career and his relationship with his mother, Fleet Admiral Nashira.
Cristal is losing her home and her family, and on top of that is faced with a daunting responsibility. Now she finds that the one man who can mend her broken heart is promised to another.
Together, Zaran and Cristal must find a way to save their people. With the planet under attack and the substream closed to them, they have no choice but to risk taking the survivors through the perilous, uncharted depths of space to find a way home.
And if that’s not dangerous enough, someone in the fleet is trying to kill them. Who would jeopardise their chances of getting home?
