    About this ebook

    Operative Jena Morane is the kind of Justice Keeper who can't resist the urge to poke her nose where it doesn't belong.


    Bored with her current assignment, she flies off to investigate strange readings from a neighboring star system. But something is lurking in deep space, and what she finds there will haunt her until the day she dies.
