Dace faces her most challenging assignment yet - mingling with the high society of Linas-Drias, capital of the Empire. Vance hands her a golden opportunity to look for the traitors pulling the Empire apart, but when her pretend engagement becomes all too real, she's in too deep to escape.

Dace believes Tayvis is dead, so when Lowell sends her to her homeworld to start a civil war, she doesn't care if she survives or not. But as she struggles through the tangle of deceit, betrayal, and lies of the rebellion and the crushing oppression of the government and startling revelations about her own past, Dace finds she does want to live. At least long enough to see Jasyn again. But her chances dwindle as the planet plunges into war and the Patrol abandons the sector. But her biggest enemy proves to be her own heritage.

Dace thinks the worst when Tayvis doesn't make their meeting at the Golden Pig on Proxima. After all, the last time she saw him, he arrested her. The time before that, she shot him. Their romance was doomed before it began. But it isn't that simple. His ship is missing. And the Eggstone's shattered remains offer the only clue. Something is seriously wrong and Dace is the only one who can unravel the mystery. Her decision might cost her heart and her freedom.

When a desperate stranger accosts Dace to demand her help, it leads to a tangled morass of treason and secrets that could destroy everything she loves.

The Targon Syndicate wants revenge, to the tune of half a million credits for Dace's head. And Jerimon, Jasyn's brother, is about to hand it to them. It doesn't matter that he's working undercover for the Patrol and Lowell. Targon isn't about to wait for Lowell's timetable. The two stowaways aren't helping matters. They're being hunted by the Sidyama for crimes against their government and their religion. It's only a matter of who will catch up to Dace first - Targon, the Patrol, or the Sidyama.

The Kumadai Run is a dangerous route - radiation storms, nebulas, and the occasional black hole. Dace is certain her ship can handle those. But she didn't plan on the five-hundred-year-old distress call. And no one mentioned the dozens of ships missing over the last hundred years. The trap at the heart of the Kumadai Run might prove her undoing.
