When, one by one, Sethran Kada's friends disappear ? all guardians of a dangerous secret ? it's time to worry.

Joined by his partner Ciela, Agent Kada is drawn into a desperate search stretching from rebel strongholds to the dangerous fringes of Commonwealth space. What begins as a rescue mission quickly unravels into something far larger: a breakthrough threatening to expose the secrets of Killian's Maze, a hidden network buried deep within subspace itself.

A discovery powerful enough to reshape civilization.

Or destroy it.

As rebel factions close in and loyalties begin to fracture, Seth must decide how far he is willing to go to protect the people he cares about ? and what sacrifices he is prepared to make once the Maze begins pulling them all beyond the limits of endurance and understanding.
