On Tarak, blood dictates all.

The universe is vast and tamed, managed by a galactic-wide government called the Syndicate. Planet Tarak is an exception. Located on the rim of civilization, its people are independent and as fierce as its roving planetary storm held back by their high-tech biodome.

Through their hardened militaristic and scientific advancements, Tarakians have become the most formidable society in the universe, governed by a king with an unmatched bloodline, the Sight ability that even the Syndicate fears. Tarakian King Relaa will do anything to maintain his power and keep his planet safe from threats both internal and external while staying out of the Syndicates affairs.

But some threats not even he can see. A galactic civil war is brewing and even the isolated Tarakians will have to join.

Ehreo is a high-ranking Citadel agent on Tarak investigating a terrorist scheme that reaches right to the top of Tarakian society. What he discovers puts him in the crosshairs of a centuries-old prophecy . . . one that no one knows has already been set in motion by King Relaa, which may be the key to everything or could spell disaster for all.

Is Relaa as invincible as he thinks? Will Ehreo succeed or will Tarak crumble from within or succumb to assault from without? The galaxy is going to war. Billions will die. How will Tarak intervene with its own rebellion secretly underway?
