Adrian warned Caer not to transfer from the university on the Ahiran colony to Sion University on Earth. She refused to listen. When her journey sends her entire existence dangerously sideways, she begins to suspect her friend knows far more about circumstances than he's telling her. Caught in the middle of a war between ancient Witches whose souls are capable of transmigration and aliens possessing magic who pursue her with deadly intent, Caer must unravel deeply buried secrets from her childhood and the mystery of a gift sent to her by a deadman to save herself, and perhaps most of humanity.
