- First Class courier pilot Theo Waitley was already known as a nexus of violence — and then she inherited the precarious captaincy of a mysterious self-aware ship designed to serve a long-dead trader. Now she has a trade route to run for Clan Korval while she convinces the near mythic ghost ship Bechimo — and herself — that she wants to commit herself as the human side to their immensely powerful symbiosis. While her former lover battles a nano-virus that's eating him alive, she's challenged to rescue hundreds of stranded pilots and crewmen from an explosive situation in near orbit around a suddenly hostile planet. Lovers, enemies, an ex-roomie, and a jealous spaceship are all in peril as Theo wields power that no one in the universe is sure of, especially her.
- Stirring space adventure from master storytellers Sharon Lee and Steve Miller — #15 in the award-winning Liaden Universe saga.
