The Reign of Ghosts and Galaxies

"There's no planet in the universe where our story actually works. You were and always have been the impossible choice."

First there was a costly rescue from Tav. Then a disastrous power struggle over Vepo. Now the universe hangs on the brink of unprecedented war. Captain Woolsey has encouraged it with her mutiny. First Wife Megai thirsts for it by declaring herself queen. Arba fears its intrusion on her future with Xanth. And Dameia and Hyam defy it with a wedding meant to be the beautiful symbol of a previously impossible future.

But when a ship arrives on Vepo bearing one of the last individuals anyone expected to see with news no one ever imagined they'd hear, rebels of every kind -Tavarian, human, and Veporian-must stand together and fight for the future the galaxy deserves.

Because reckoning is coming, hope is fragile, and in the face of disaster, love may not be enough to conquer all.
