Maera escaped the future planned for her on Reax, so what could make her return? At eighteen, Meara would do anything to escape the abuse she endured in Falcon House on her home world of Reax. An Engagement assignment off world to prove herself a capable Falcon ensured her release. She only stayed long enough to make sure her one best friend made it back to Reax. Nine years later, war and plague have decimated Reax. When proof is discovered of a renegade Falcon, Jencet is sent to bring her back to Reax. It might be difficult, as Maera is now a citizen and war hero of the powerful United Planets Alliance, a government powerful enough to take over Reax.
