The Beinarian home world is in danger when it is discovered their sun is ready to go nova. The planet must be evacuated or everyone will most certainly die. There's just one problem: the people with the skills to build the star craft and navigate them to a new home world (Beinan) are caught up in a blood feud and not likely to stop fighting -- even at the cost of billions of lives. As leaders from the other noble houses seek a solution to this very deadly problem, two delegates assigned to the peace talks find romance tinged with the supernatural in a relationship that will make them the stuff of legends.
