The final battle of the intergalactic cooking tournament is here!

Unfortunately, Magda has been eliminated, setting up a showdown between Kourou, the enigmatic girl from Luna, and the boastful Golden Gourmet. But as the day of reckoning draws near, Kourou shares a secret with Magda about the troubled history of Tamaris, the galaxy’s dominant planet and host of the tournament. Magda is forced to look deep within to decide what kind of competitor she wants to be―and what kind of world she wants to live in.
