Lieutenant Taylor Morgan has never met an ikthian that wasn’t trying to kill her, but when she accidentally takes one of the aliens hostage, she finds herself with an entirely new set of responsibilities. Her captive, Maia Kalanis, is no normal ikthian, and the encroaching Dominion is willing to do just about anything to get her back.

In the final sequel of Dark Horizons ex-soldier Taylor Morgan has no idea how long she's spent in Daashu, the brutal prison where enemies of the Dominion go to die. She doesn't know what's become of the naledai rebellion, or how Earth, her homeworld, is faring against the ikthians. She's only sure of one thing. Maia is out there somewhere, making a plan to rescue her. Meanwhile, Maia is tormented by guilt. She blames herself for Taylor's capture, and her research into the shared genetic history of all Milky Way species has been stolen by the Dominion, only to be turned into a deadly biological weapon. With the help of Rachel Harris, Taylor's best friend; Elurin, an ace pilot and Dominion defector; Akton, a stalwart naledai soldier; and her own traitorous mother, a former Dominion official, Maia must rescue Taylor and stop the Dominion from wiping out the naledai, the humans, and even her own people.

In this sequel to Dark Horizons, Taylor and Maia did not know where they would go when they fled Earth. They simply trusted Akton to take them somewhere safe. Leaving behind a wake of chaos and disorder, Coalition soldier Rachel is left to deal with the backlash of Taylor’s actions, and soon finds herself chasing after the runaways. Rachel quickly learns the final frontier is not a forgiving place for humans, but her chances for survival are better out there than back on Earth. Meanwhile, Taylor and Maia find themselves living off the generosity of rebel leader Sorra, an ikthian living a double life for the sake of the rebellion. With Maia’s research in hand, Sorra believes they can deliver a fatal blow against the Dominion. Book 2 in the Dark Horizons Series.

Things get a little more complicated when Robin begins to display signs of affection, and Tess fears her own outing might erupt in political scandal and sink all chances of pursuing her dreams.
