An immense asteroid is on course to deliver a torrent of pathogens into this galactic sector?an extinction event no fleet can stop.

A mission is dispatched to investigate and Cyann, astrobiologist and Human-Delphian hybrid, is eager to be part of the mission led by her mother Nova Whiteside.

But before she can leave, she is drawn into a mystery far older than the crisis itself. A secretive Delphian sect believes the catastrophe is tied to the Tughan Wai ? a powerful and elusive creation of their own making. And they believe Cyann's unique genetics are the key to finding it.

Isolated in deep space among an alien species whose intentions are as dangerous as they are unknowable, Cyann is forced to face a truth no one wants to accept:

The Tughan may not be their salvation.

And the asteroid cannot be stopped.

As entire worlds stand on the brink, Cyann must find the strength to be what she was destined to become
