Following the Battle of Eris, Elenora is tempted by an offer from Nava that she just can't refuse: one visit in exchange for Nava's surrender. It seems too good to be true. Elenora journeys alone to Nava's hideout on Makemake, only to discover the planet is under brutal submission. When Nava suddenly shows up on The Battleship Juniper, it becomes clear that this is a trap. As Aries, Roman, and Marko go to rescue her, Aries discovers hidden secrets and encounters people from his past. The challenges at hand are much bigger than simply retrieving the Princess of Orion. Aries starts to realize that not all that is lost is ever truly gone.
