Thief. Scoundrel. Drug addict. Pirate. As a member of the Hawks T'jaros faction, Caverros has been called many names, all of them true. One name he never considered for himself is hero, but w hen a new friend asks for help tracking down a missing Star Tracer, Caverros reluctantly agrees. Partnered with Jana of the T'jarosa Blood Thorn, they must venture into the Jenkosi Expanse, where deadly trials wait in the darkness between the stars, if he and Jana don't kill each other first. A possible cure for their people's genetically engineered dependency on the drug Epsillium has them both on edge as they learn what it is to live without apathy, experience true emotions, face the ghosts of their past, and gather the courage to fly past the sun. In Book 6, it will be up to Caverros and Jana to help the young Star Tracer, Gryph, save his partner, Karsen, from the power-hungry Black Wing. Together, they may save what remains of the T'jaros long lost Jarkarzian civilization, if they can first save each other. In the game of Vestrasa, every piece matters, and Former Central Director Jehdra Szina sets plans in motion, charting a course for her Star Tracer agents, as an unexpected player makes a surprise move across the board.
