Synopsis

Lilian has only a few months remaining in her Trial by Ordeal.

The Battle of Serengeti is over. The Despoilers are defeated. Bright Star prepares for humanity's first voyage beyond known space in more than two centuries, and the Nightingale waits to carry that dream into the beaconless expanse.
But peace proves as dangerous as war.

Returning to Fortuna for the Nightingale's hull launch, Lilian struggles to recover from the wounds left by battle. A voyage that was intended as respite takes on deadly danger as new threats emerge from unexpected quarters. Odds managers face ruin if she survives. Powerful interests move against Bright Star, and old adversaries return to threaten Lilian’s trial. And the extraordinary insights that have guided her through disaster continue to grow stronger, revealing patterns no one else can see.

Lucius Mercio has spent years building Serengeti into one of the most powerful commercial interests in the Twelve Systems. Ruthless, brilliant, and feared by allies and enemies alike, he has overcome every challenge placed before him.
Yet some dangers cannot be bought, bargained with, or destroyed.

As Bright Star races toward launch and unseen enemies close in, Lilian and Lucius must confront threats born of prophecy, ambition, and betrayal.

Because the greatest threat to the Twelve Systems may not lie in the darkness beyond known space.
It may already be waiting at home.

Présentation de l'éditeur

~ Where duty and passion collide~With only a season and half left to her bond, Lilian's enemies are becoming desperate, and those who would see her fail seek any infraction, no matter how minor, to deny her bond proof. Haunted by the memory of the Serengeti fallen and her actions in eradicating the Despoilers, Lilian struggles to retain her discipline for the final five months of her apprenticeship. With her actions in the battle of Serengeti proving her valor and loyalty beyond doubt, only the honor proof remains – adherence to the rigid and complex Apprentice Protocol. Although few within Serengeti will challenge her bond proof, throughout the Twelve Systems, those who wagered against her are facing penury and will stop at nothing to keep her from surviving.With Damocles and Despoilers defeated, Lucius' power with Serengeti and the Third System is uncontested. Determined to advance his ambitions, Lucius lays plans for a triumphant launch of his revolutionary stellar exploration vehicle, the Nightingale. As he prepares to depart for Fortuna, a new threat appears in the form of a charismatic prelate who rouses the populace against Bright Star and Lilian’s role the venture. The prelate will prove but the first among many determined to thwart him through any means, including his notorious apprentice.When thousands gather on Fortuna for the historical launch of the Nightingale into orbit, Lilian finds herself treading a blade’s edge as she attempts to adhere to the Apprentice Protocol among adversaries who are increasingly desperate and bold. Planned as a celebration of Serengeti achievement, the Fortuna voyage becomes a nightmare where she is faced with deadly opponents intent on her destruction.
