The war everyone thought was over is merely beginning.

Kira Forrest is a survivor. She’s risen above the discomfort of her origins to become war hero and then leave everything behind in the pursuit of a simple existence. Now a salvager, she makes a living sifting through the wreckage of inactive alien boats from a war that nearly brought mankind to its knees.

After her ship takes damage, she’s forced to re-route to an area station where her past and present collide with dangerous consequences.

Kira’s existence holds the main element to a faltering tranquility treaty using the Tuann-a technologically advanced alien race who all dislikes and distrusts all human beings. Winning her freedom should be easy, but a powerful and relentless Tuann warrior stands in her way. Deceiving him seems impossible, especially when he strays dangerously near secrets she problems to hide.

Can Kira reconcile the discomfort of her former with the possibilities of her future? The destiny of two races depends on her success.
