Zendista McKenna is Chief of the Alliance Marshals, the most elite police force in the Migichinan Alliance. His top concern is to serve and protect all of the Goddess’ children, but forces beyond his control thrust him into an arena of politics, where his enemies will be far more dangerous than any common criminal. Will he take the position that he has been destined for? Or will a power-hungry warlord take him out of the game and plunge the Alliance into an age of darkness?
