She had the power to create planets. The sixty carved bones of the Yris-tera foretold her ancient fate. Her heritage of power took her beyond time and space and stole from her the one man she loved.

ON A PLANET DESPERATE FOR POPULATION, WOMEN HOLD THE KEYS TO POWER. But power brings enemies.

Estri’s enemies threatened all of Silistra. Their plan: to reveal the planet’s precious secret secret of extending life in exchange for off-world technology – the technology which decimated Silistra’s population long ago.
