Rachel watched her father's final moments on Ellora in horror-his thrill of discovery turned to shock as the ledge collapsed beneath him. Forget his fame after finding ancient Martian cities. To her, he was just 'Dad.' Her peace was shattered. Rachel learned early you can't change the past. Kidnapped, betrayed, sold- she didn't start the war on Hub, but the end of slavery came along with the revolution, and wealthy elites who lost fortunes with slavery's end want her dead. The only reason she survived? An'sera Magena- the spirit of an ancient Elloran priestess- shares her body. When her father's funeral pulls them all back to Earth, Rachel and An'sera uncover the truth about many things: an ancient Dysan Sphere harnessing the power of a sun, lost ancient technologies hiding in plain sight, and a Galactic Council eager to exploit it all. Their mission threatens the status quo-and those who don't want them to succeed want them dead.
