Traitor's Burden

US Edition Book Two of The Zhivar Trilogy Arkley Saundier needs to find his wife, not to atone for his sins but to confess them though he doubts that will ease his guilt. He knows one thing though. Efiel Darnstorn will never forgive him and will never stop from hunting him down. But when Danora flees into Zhivar space, he loses his chance at redemption. That is, until Salma Neilor throws him a lifeline. She wants to know if Danora has delivered her offer to the Zhivar. But it could mean suicide for Arkley and Melangie Tarjour. In Zhivar space, he faces a terrible choice in a no-win situation as he is caught between the Zhivar and the Wierda, a pawn in their intergalactic brinkmanship. And as he plays a desperate game, it appears that nothing will save him from a fate worse than death.
