Ambre Nicole Dabney is a young woman who grew up in Nova Scotia, Canada. As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Ambre is preparing to serve an 18-month mission for the Church, and has been called to serve in the Chicago Mission. As with all young men and women who leave home to serve missions, Ambre is full of excitement, fears, expectations, and wonderment at being away from home and serving in a totally different country. Meanwhile, Royce Airyn O'Malley is a vivacious young woman who excells at anything she tries, both academically and personally. However, just weeks before turning sixteen, tragedy strikes her family. Shortly after this tragedy, Royce finds out a shocking truth. When these two meet in one of Chicago's public parks, Ambre in her innocence and excitement, just wants to share the gospel with Royce. But Royce is jaded and street-wise now. Will Ambre's enthusiasm about the gospel help Royce find the peace and happiness she is so desperately needing? Or will Royce's life from the past five years come back to cause trouble for both of them?

At thirty-four, Captain Katya Cassius knew she faced the twilight of her military career as a Magistrate officer on board The Maelstrom. She just hadn't imagined she'd be jettisoning it into space. But no good deed ever goes unpunished . . .One simple rescue mission lands Katya and her two-person crew in the midst of a cover-up with the discovery of the Magistrate warship Aletheia's slaughtered crew. Among the dead, they discover one survivor, an Oneiroi toddler. Despite the species' reputation as the Magistrate's mind-destroying enforcers, Katya rescues him.

Torn between past and present, some allegiances die hard.Plasovern leader Hedda Strom has fulfilled her promise for Sotiris, almost to a miraculous level silencing his genetic mutation. With this achievement, it now falls on former Magistrate captain Katya Cassius to pay the price, as Strom tolerates no freeloaders. However, the cost may be steeper than she's willing to pay, requiring her to turn entirely against former comrades and her adoptive family in a campaign to destabilize the Magistrate.While Katya struggles with her former loyalties, Mina has embraced Plasovern's cause, threatening to tear their relationship asunder. Building tension within Plasovern and Mina's push to join one of its cells forces Katya to pursue alternative routes to Strom-even risking her wrath. As the Magistrate's fringe space spirals into chaos and Sotiris's medical needs limit options, Katya's only recourse may be a return to her original homeworld, a place she fears for the truth it may hold.
