<p>There is nothing left for Rhys on Terra. He has been forced to flee for his life, with only one destination on his mind. With the encouragement of his remaining crew, Rhys has arrived on Centaura, where he hopes to make a new life for himself on a planet that won&rsquo;t hate him for being a starat. New allies vie for Rhys&rsquo;s attention on an alien world that the recently-turned starat is not familiar with. He knows he will need to step carefully until he can fully understand the powers at play. However, Centaura hides dark secrets, and Rhys&rsquo;s arrival on the planet seems to be the trigger that brings them to the surface. Can Rhys learn who to trust before it&rsquo;s too late?</p>
