Fleeing religious persecution, twenty-six hundred refugees limp across the galaxy in a dying ship. At the desolate edge of known space, they find their salvation: a habitable world. But it's already inhabited by millions of humans—dangerous, unstable, primitive humans whose very existence poses an impossible moral dilemma.
Resources dwindling, ship failing, no way back—Taithur must lead his people to a new home. But can he justify taking a world from those who already possess it? As factions form and patience frays, the refugees face a terrible choice: become the oppressors they fled from, or perish in the void.
A powerful exploration of survival, morality, and the price of freedom.
