\nQven was created to be a Presger translator. The pride of their Clade \, they always had a clear path before them: learn human ways\, and eventu ally\, make a match and serve as an intermediary between the dangerous ali en Presger and the human worlds. The realization that they might want some thing else isn't "optimal behavior". It's the type of behavior that result s in elimination. But Qven rebels. And in doing so\, their path collides w ith those of two others. Enae\, a reluctant diplomat whose dead grandmaman has left hir an impossible task as an inheritance: hunting down a fugitiv e who has been missing for over 200 years. And Reet\, an adopted mechanic who is increasingly desperate to learn about his genetic roots-or anything that might explain why he operates so differently from those around him. As a Conclave of the various species approaches-and the long-standing trea ty between the humans and the Presger is on the line-the decisions of all three will have ripple effects across the stars.
