The Earthborn refugees have established a foothold in the Natonus System. At least, it seemed that way until a member of the Natonus Offspring carries out a suicide bombing in their first settlement. The fallout from the attack is immediate. Isadora Satoro faces a sudden political backlash from a population no longer sure she can protect them. Nadia Jibor's efforts to end a civil war and pursue further colonization spiral out of control. The disgraced Russ Kama rejoins his former colleagues, bringing his military acumen to bear in the fight against the Offspring. And the therapist Carson Erlinza-trained to work with violent radicals-is brought out of cryo to infiltrate the enemy's ranks. Isadora and her team are beset from all sides. Scattered across Natonus, they must work together and traverse the dark corners of the system to root out their most dangerous adversaries yet.
