Destined to lead a revolution that could save?or destroy?everything.
Stranded in Centauri space after a near-fatal victory against the Galactic Unity Alliance, Raya Langton and her team launch a desperate search for her missing sister?only to uncover a vast conspiracy of genetic manipulation that could redefine the future of humanity.
As the unacknowledged daughter of Centauri's rightful primara, Raya is reluctantly thrust into the heart of a rebellion she never chose. The Unsworn?ragtag fighters bound by honor rather than oath?now look to her for leadership in a war they may be destined to lose.
When Raya and her battle-hardened crew unearth ancient Aeternai technology of unimaginable power, they find both a possible salvation?and a path to devastation. This long-buried relic could shift the balance against the GUA's overwhelming might . . . but unlocking its secrets may demand a sacrifice too great to bear.
With the enemy fleet closing in and loyalties fracturing, Raya must choose between love and duty, survival and surrender.
In the cold void between stars, one woman's choices will determine not just the fate of Centauri . . . but the future of all humanity.
Autorentext
Teyla Branton grew up avidly reading science fiction and fantasy and watching Star Trek reruns with her large family. They lived on a little farm where she loved to visit the solitary cow and collect (and juggle) the eggs, usually making it back to the house with most of them intact. On that same farm she once owned thirty-three gerbils and eighteen cats, not a good mix, as it turns out. Teyla always had her nose in a book and daydreamed about someday creating her own worlds. She is now married, mostly grown up, and has seven kids, including a two-year-old, so life at her house can be very interesting (and loud), but writing keeps her sane. She thrives on the energy, inspiration, and daily amusement offered by her children. Grabbing any snatch of free time from her hectic life, Teyla writes novels, often with a child on her lap. She loves guns, martial arts, and belly dancing. Teyla writes urban fantasy, paranormal romance, and science fiction. She also writes romance and romantic suspense under the name Rachel Branton.
