A civil war on the fringes of the galaxy... A desert world controlled by marauding bands... Siasha Mastik has no hope of being a normal teenager... It has been several years since Siasha Mastik's father left her with her great aunt on the fringe world of Kesheron. Believing her safe from the growing insurrection on the rim worlds of the Nowa Empire, he rejoined the active military to squelch this uprising. Little does he realize Kesheron holds its own dangers, roving bands of marauders that take what they want by force. Now that the Empire is drafting men and even boys to fight the growing threat on the rim, the people of Siasha's village are in greater danger than ever before. All seems lost when raiders threaten Siasha's life, but then a stranger from the stars arrives, guaranteeing that young Siasha's life will never be the same again! The most recent chronicles of the Zandeji, a long forgotten elite military force, are captured in this debut novel from Christopher T. Mooney. In this first in a series of books that tell an epic space opera of ultimate good versus ultimate evil, the author has created a believable universe where religion is outlawed and the final destiny of all rests upon the strength of faith, hope and love.
