This book will set up Aelia’s character for the finale of the SVF Series.

With her time as an Endeavor Ambassador behind her, Aelia charts a new future for herself in the Apeilous Central Navy. For the first time in her life, she begins to see the cracks in the Apeilous and in the politics that shape it. As captain of the Central Navy warship Rogo Mach, she is charged with carrying out Apeilous doctrine in the now prosperous outer rim states, where she comes face to face with the ugly side of the systems that enabled her meteoric rise.
