Synopsis

Scholarship student Thracius "Tracy" Belmanor and Princess Mercedes de Arango have graduated from the High Ground and become officers in the Orden de la Estrella. Stung by Mercedes' choice of Beauregard “Boho” Cullen as her consort, Tracy is glad that they are posted on battleships light years apart, but soon finds that without her protection he is nothing but a target. Meanwhile, Mercedes' posting has its own challenges, not least her unfaithful husband.

Both young officers find themselves part of forced "assimilations" of settlers on Hidden Worlds, which lead them to doubt the intentions of the Solar League. And when Tracy witnesses a horrific event that threatens the fragile human and alien peace, Mercedes must decide where her loyalties truly lie . . .

Goodreads review by D.F. Haley on July 31, 2017

The previous book in this series wrapped up fairly neatly, with an obvious sequel in store. This was a cliffhanger ending with a year-long wait for the next volume in the series. A lot of balls are left in the air. The author has pummeled her characters mercilessly in this book. They each become vic......more

Goodreads review by Claire on October 22, 2017

I'm so conflicted about how I feel about this. I'm hoping that the author is setting Tracey and Mercedes up as some sort of moral lesson because neither of them seems to have any sort of self awareness or critical thinking. I can just about give Mercedes a pass because she is the heir to the whole s......more

Goodreads review by S.J. on May 27, 2019

As in the first book, the storyline focuses on these two young people who became very close during the first book, even though it was clear their relationship would never be able to go any further. I had sort of assumed that during this book, love would somehow find a way – because that’s what happe......more
