The only bridge between past and
future is a leap of
faith.
Pursued by enemies, exiled
Liaden clan Korval is settling into a new base on backworld Surebleak. Moving is
expensive, as is war, and Korval is strapped for cash. Delm Korval has therefore
instructed Master Trader Shan yos'Galan to design and implement new trade
routes, quickly.
But this is no
easy task. Dutiful Passage is targeted by Korval's enemies,
denied docking at respectable ports, and cheated at those less
respectable. Struggling to recuperate from an attack on his
life, while managing daughter Padi’s emerging
psychic talents, Shan is running out of options—and time. His
quest to establish the all-important trade route puts him at odds with his
lifemate, while doubting crew desert the ship. Facing the
prospect of failure, Shan accepts the assistance of chancy allies and turns
the Passage toward a port only just emerging from Rostov's
Dust and awash with strange
energies.
Without trade, Clan Korval
will starve. Will a trader's leap of faith save everything—or doom
all?
