Trust is the mission. Love is the reason it matters.
Kira Vale's first mission as ambassador takes her to the disputed colonies, where human settlements are caught between the Zorathi Reach and its sworn enemies, the Qarrema Ascendancy. Her job: negotiate aid, counter Qarrema influence, and prove the Reach deserves the colonies' trust. Her reality: nothing out here is what it seems.
The Qarrema are already winning. Their diplomats offer generous aid packages with devastating strings attached, and colony after colony is signing on. When an anonymous source starts feeding Kira intelligence about what's really happening in disputed space, the trail leads her to two people she never expected to see again: Kaedren's brother, long believed dead, and Kira's own sister, Grace, now leading the very insurgency destabilizing the region.
Grace wants Kira to join her. The Qarrema want her to kneel. And the political forces moving against the Reach don't care whether Kira survives the crossfire.
With her four Knights at her side and a crew that has become family, Kira must navigate a war fought with contracts and diplomacy as much as weapons, protect the colonies caught in the middle, and face the hardest truth of all: the sister she mourned has become someone she doesn't recognize.
