Naero's brother Jan's still missing, and powers she can't control grow to threat status once more. Toss in Aunt Sleak's wedding, a phantom ship knocking out entire fleets, and a hyper-violent alien species invading the fringes, and Naero's life on overload just couldn't get more exciting.
Wrong!
After she's forced to train with the Spacer Mystics, the most impossible and demanding of all the High Masters gives her one fatal choice:
Learn to control the vast powers consuming her and her mind, or be destroyed.
Isolated and alone, Naero trains night and day in brutal, exacting regimens of martial and mental discipline, with instructors who already think she'll fail. But they don't know her.
Then all bets are off, when the fourteen remaining Gigacorps unleash a sweeping master plan to eliminate the Free Spacer Clans and their allies, once and for all.
And no one has the power to stop them.
Not even Naero.
