Synopsis

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

For three years she has lived one day at a time, not daring to imagine a future beyond the proving of her bond. The strategy has carried her through betrayal, bloodshed, and impossible trials. Now, with the end of her trial within sight, she walks a blade’s edge between duty and discipline.

And the forces aligned against her are determined to turn that blade on her.

As preparations accelerate for the Nightingale's voyage into the newly discovered Thirteenth System, new Serengeti allies from the free-trader worlds arrive in Crevasse City. What begins as a routine investigation soon uncovers connections to the pirate wars, old conspiracies, and enemies thought long defeated. As foes move against Serengeti and Bright Star, Lilian's extraordinary ability to uncover patterns reveals a danger no one else can see.

One capable of destroying Bright Star before it ever launches.

Lucius Mercio has spent years building Serengeti into one of the most powerful commercial interests in the Twelve Systems. Ruthless, brilliant, and feared throughout the galaxy, he has defeated rivals, traitors, pirates, and Servants of Anarchy.

But some enemies survive by hiding in plain sight.

As assassins close in, old wounds reopen, and the past reaches into the present, Lilian and Lucius must confront threats that began long before either understood the true nature of their adversary.

Because the final trial is not proving the bond.
It is surviving long enough to claim the future.

In defiance of the odds, Lilian is within a month of proving her bond, driving desperate Odds Managers to ever increasing bounties on her life. Even with the protection of Adelaide’s Alcove, every step beyond the security of the cartel is perilous. Within the cartel, she must put aside her fear, giving all her attention to her duty and the decorum demanded of an apprentice.

As the Nightingale Command Crew is gathers on Metricelli Prime to prepare for the dangerous voyage to the Thirteenth System, whispers of pirates emerge from the Eleventh and Twelfth Systems. A decade before, pirates almost to toppled Serengeti, their reemergence so close to the Nightingale launch endangers all Lucius has achieved. When a group of free-traders arrive from those distant systems, they threaten to resurrect an ancient Mercio scandal that could undermine the honor of Blooded Dagger and Serengeti.In the final days of Lilian’s apprenticeship, danger lurks in every shadow. It will require all Lucius’ power and Lilian’s courage to achieve her bond proof.
