Fresh off a victory over the Strema, the Edenites are striving for safety in a universe far more dangerous than they'd imagined. The Jema are a free people for the first time in a millennium and have made a home on Eden. Driven by the dream of returning to their home world of Chandra and taking the fight to the Kaerin they force a decision on their Edanite allies. On Chandra, the Kaerin have learned what occurred on Eden and they now know they are in a war for their survival. On Earth, as the world rages in revolution and war, Sir Geoff holds out hope of a better world to a small group of people being hunted by the government.--
