Synopsis

Step into a universe where duty is a double-edged sword honed by passion. Love is not a battlefield—it is an entire galaxy.

Her final test may be her last. . .

Lilian’s enemies are desperate. They will do anything to deny her bond proof. 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.

With Damocles and Despoilers defeated, Lucius 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 in the venture.

Although few within Serengeti will challenge her bond proof, throughout the Twelve Systems, those who wagered against her face penury and will stop at nothing to keep her from surviving. Planned as a celebration of Serengeti’s achievement, the Fortuna voyage becomes a nightmare when she faces deadly opponents intent on her destruction.
