Quinera, a young Thessari woman, is about to depart her home planet and venture into an unknown world in just a couple of days. Her species is dying and scientists are struggling to find a cure, but to no avail. Brutal and senseless laws are being forced on the remaining fertile women to keep the species alive. The Empire acts as it pleases, and the people can do nothing but watch. Whoever dares to stand against it gets killed or disappears.
One accidental discovery is about to change everything. And with the weight of her noble lineage, Quinera may finally have the power to reshape destiny.
But first, she has a mission to complete—on a desolate planet seventeen light years away. Who knows what adventures are waiting for her there?
