Two weeks ago she found out how very wrong she'd been. Six months ago, Taryn found out everything she thought she knew about the elves was wrong. She dreamed of the long vanished elves as a child and has spent the past fifteen years digging through their abandoned ruins in Beccia. Murderous magic, vanished races, killer relics, and drunken faeries-who knew the end of the world would look like this? The story that began in The Glass Gargoyle, The Obsidian Chimera, and The Emerald Dragon continues. And Vas realizes lying low was never a possibility, not for the Warrior Wench, and never for her. The ghost-make that ghosts-of her dead lover appears, as do the deadly, long-gone Asarlaí who want their empire of worlds back, never mind that other beings live there. When what should have been an easy job with easy money backfires in her face, the cosmic conspiracy engulfs her again. In the darkest night of deep space, if she sits too still and thinks too long, she still misses her former ship, scattered in pieces across the universe, and Deven, her former second-in-command, also scattered in pieces across the universe.
A painful and brutal way that will destroy worlds. But there are noises in the distant corners of the galaxy that the Asarlaí have found new allies and another way to come back from the great beyond. Now lying low, she's been taking tedious recovery jobs with a new ship, a new second-in-command, and a galactic government that has gone into hiding but is still on the hunt for her and her ship. Vas and her crew defeated the first wave but at great cost, both professional and personal. Those were the good days-blown to interstellar dust when a band of crazed monks tried to resurrect a race of long-dead homicidal rulers: the Asarlaí. She fought hard, drank hard, and killed people when all else failed. Vaslisha Tor Dain was a simple sort of mercenary starship captain.
For the first time in her life, Vas doesn’t know if she can fight hard enough to stop it. The galaxy was in for a world of hurt-chaos unseen since the violent, sadistic Asarlaí ruled.
