"Kristine Smith supercedes herself with each new book." Janny Wurts

Synopsis:
A year or so has passed since Jani Kilian
left the Commonwealth capital of Chicago
to begin life as leader of the hybrid enclave
in Thalassa, and the situation is beginning
to grow complicated. Tsecha, her idomeni
mentor, is publishing treatises that are
angering the Shèrain government.
Elyas and the other Outer Circle colonies
are pondering secession from the Commonwealth,
and want Jani and Tsecha to help mediate
any separation. And for the first time,
Jani is suffering flashbacks and nightmares,
as the sere beauty of Thalassa resurrects
memories of another stark place last seen
twenty years before. The place that changed
her life forever. Knevçet Shèràa.
Then John Shroud's business partner, Val
Parini, arrives bearing news that will
threaten Thalassa's continued existence.
To make matters worse, he brings with him
Lucien Pascal, Jani's former lover, who
never met an ulterior motive he didn't
like. And hovering on the fringes is a
Vynshàrau female named Rilas, who
has come to Elyas for reasons her own.
