***Earth died long ago... ***

Humanity spread to every habitable planet within reach. Evolving independently, each new race governed itself until the Ministry was formed to rule them all.

Raelon is searching the stars…

Leuka trusted him, and he betrayed her. Now she’s gone and the whole planet is suffering in her absence. Only now is he aware of the terrible mistake he’s made, but it might be too little too late. Desperate to redeem himself to the Red Lily, he has turned his back on his heritage and forsaken his oath to the Shadowman Alpha. He now has only one, all-consuming mission—to find Leuka. But can he ever close the space between them? Or will he die trying?

Leuka is on the run…

Hunted by both sides, she has managed to stay one step ahead of her pursuers. But they are closing in. Her confidence shattered, the last thing she wants to do is return to Tokino and the chaos she has left in her wake. But when forced to face the atrocities the Ministry is committing against the people she abandoned, she knows there is no other choice. Though she may be marching to her death, she must go back.
