In the final sequel of Dark Horizons ex-soldier Taylor Morgan has no idea how long she's spent in Daashu, the brutal prison where enemies of the Dominion go to die. She doesn't know what's become of the naledai rebellion, or how Earth, her homeworld, is faring against the ikthians. She's only sure of one thing. Maia is out there somewhere, making a plan to rescue her.Meanwhile, Maia is tormented by guilt. She blames herself for Taylor's capture, and her research into the shared genetic history of all Milky Way species has been stolen by the Dominion, only to be turned into a deadly biological weapon.With the help of Rachel Harris, Taylor's best friend; Elurin, an ace pilot and Dominion defector; Akton, a stalwart naledai soldier; and her own traitorous mother, a former Dominion official, Maia must rescue Taylor and stop the Dominion from wiping out the naledai, the humans, and even her own people.

Lieutenant Taylor Morgan has never met an ikthian that wasn't trying to kill her, but when she accidentally takes one of the aliens hostage, she finds herself with an entirely new set of responsibilities. Her captive, Maia Kalanis, is no normal ikthian, and the encroaching Dominion is willing to do just about anything to get her back. Her superiors want to use Maia as a bargaining chip, but the more time Taylor spends alone with her, the more conflicted she becomes. Torn between Maia and her duty to her home-world, Taylor must decide where her loyalties lie.
