Step into a universe where duty is a double-edged sword honed by passion. Love is not a battlefield—it is an entire galaxy.

The light that guides her. . .

Lilian survives in defiance of the odds. Within a month of proving her bond, the ever-increasing bounties on her life grow. She must put aside her fear, giving all her attention to her duty and the decorum demanded of an apprentice.

The success of the Nightingale launch has brought Lucius and Serengeti into the center of Twelve Systems commerce. As the Nightingale Command Crew gathers on Metricelli Prime to prepare for the dangerous voyage to the Thirteenth System, whispers of pirates emerge from the Eleventh and Twelfth Systems.

When a group of free-traders arrives from those distant systems, they threaten to resurrect an ancient Mercio scandal that could tarnish Blooded Dagger and Serengeti’s honor, imperiling all Lucius’ values.

In the final days of Lilian’s apprenticeship, danger lurks in every shadow. It will require all of Lucius’ power and Lilian’s courage to achieve her bond proof.
