"The power of the Remnants and their people are growing, threatening Pacifica's careful plans for domination. Among the Trading Union, village after village, outpost after outpost, and city after city are drawn to people of the Way, and agree to stand against those who hunt them. As the Pacifica government seeks to annihilate the Remnants, the emperor Keallach finds himself focusing instead on his lost brother...and Andriana. While her heart belongs firmly to Ronan, Andriana still feels a connection to Keallach she can't deny. But welcoming him as a Remnant may mean leading the enemy directly into their ranks."--Dust jacket.
