Join the Star Tracers as the search for Orynn continues and the depth of Jarren's destructive obsessions come to light. Four lives collide and will be forever changed. Sometimes love has been there all along, waiting for you to have the courage to reach for it. Other times, love hits you out of the blue like an asteroid, and can uplift your entire life, if you can survive the impact. Hankarron Eros has loved Tara since she had pigtails, but his fear of losing their friendship leads him to keep his heart, and his hands, to himself. When the truth about his family is exposed and leaves him grasping to hold onto his ship, his crew and his sanity, words are spoken that can't be taken back, and the presence he had grown so used to having at a convenient reach is gone. Tara Flint has never denied her heart's attraction to the floppy-haired, brown-eyed Hankarron, even if he can be a stupid limik sometimes. Her strong will falters as she is forced to decide between a promise she made to her father, a boy she has loved since she had pigtails, and the possibility of finding out what her life might be like without the presence of Hankarron always by her side. They say that the stories of our time will one day be traced into the stars to help guide others home. Fate strings intertwine with skipping stones across the universe, pulling the story forward, and igniting the embers of change to shine brightly through the darkness.
