Publisher's Synopsis
In a remote village on the ky'iin homeworld of Kyx, a young woman has committed suicide. Investigator Viyar is assigned to what should be a routine check to make sure it wasn't murder. Ly will discover that there is far more going on.
Not everyone on Kyx wants to deal with aliens, and the death is associated with a conspiracy that runs deep...so deep not even all of those involved know its true extent. The delicate treaty that holds interstellar peace is at risk...along with the entire future of Kyx.
