After Don's sister died at their family's military school, he's determined never to go back there. But when he gets in trouble on the streets, he finds himself in custody of the head of the galactic military. Lord Haltyn thinks something fishy is going on at the school and he wants Don to go investigate it for him. Don will have none of it. But when he does return to Jurant, he finds a strange new girl with watery eyes who's too weak for the school's regimen--and learns that the world that surrounds Jurant has plans of its own. For readers of "Ryan and Essie," Jurant concerns the Kinari, Viltan's people. It can be read independently of the novel.
