A thrilling and inventive space opera of a fascinating and terrifying future where newborn life is won in battle and death, and Femes, a sapien race similar to legendary Amazon Warriors, fight for supremacy across the galaxy.
Kaylenn decided to prove herself in battle. Nothing is more sacred to a Kralite. But when she has no choice but to place her faith in Saaryth--a
lowly Kaltaarist squadron commander--or face glorious death herself, she chooses to live.
Born to the tribe, Saaryth embodies the unity and self-sacrifice that is the birthright of all Kaltaarists. But navigating Kaylenn through the horrors of war and politics awakens in her something forbidden: jealousy.
Their relationship provokes the ire of the governments and corporations controlling the galaxy, and it is the only hope to save Kaylenn's homeworld.
Cosmic planner Ralyn corrupts her experiment to ensure its success. Defiant, she risks all that may be to undermine the AI construct, The Nexus. For it is always watching...
and its judgment is most extreme.
