Destinari, born of the D'Argent people on the planet Prinn, has been chosen by her Elders to undertake an important mission: find the legendary Artaxis. Only his ancient Song can save their people from destruction at the hands of their oppressors. In another reality, Elius, a young miner on one of Earth's colony worlds, is forced to go on the run when he finds himself hunted by The Three: a dangerous group of killers. Elius has a gift, and The Three will stop at nothing to secure him for their shadowy employer. Soon, their worlds will collide and both Destinari and Elius will find themselves caught in a dangerous conspiracy which spans across space and time and threatens all that they hold dear.
