A bold new quest,
An ancient evil,
A shaky alliance,
The gift of sight,
Jon Pike sets off on a mission to a long-forgotten planet to find an ancient artifact that might help humanity against the waking Maeficus. At the same time, he needs to take measures to counter the rise of a new, increasingly aggressive Diakan Empire and prevent the war that Jamie foresaw. Will he succeed, or will the galaxy again be engulfed in total war?
