Through the thirteen novels, Elizabeth Stanton and her group discover what is actually happening on their world of Tarra. Namely, the aliens created Tarra as a dumping ground for all their own spiritual beings that they found objectionable in their societies - those who upset their societies: scientists, revolutionaries, artists, great thinkers, and of course criminals. Thus, these three different alien societies dumped these unwanted beings on Tarra, their penal colony, forcing the beings into physical bodies with enough traumas so that the beings could not leave the bodies (until it died), were convinced that they were nothing more than a physical body, and could not remember their previous lives. Stanton and her group reverse all of this over many hundreds of years, drive out the aliens, and develop a therapy to undo this horrific damage to the people, set against the long term evolution of the many societies on Tarra. This is the tenth novel in the Elizabeth Stanton series. A third alien race has been discovered in the heavily populated country of Tashien. Now these aliens have left and the overall suppression of the men and women of Tashien is ended. Unfortunately, the alien’s suppression has driven the average person there down to emotions close to death itself. Now free of this suppression, many begin to rise into the anger and hatred zone. The entire country is thrown into utter chaos, as overlords fight each other for control, once the leaders, the Empress and Emperor, are assassinated. Their chaos now has spread to many other lands and countries. Bethany now must travel there to deal with the mess and attempt to bring some order to Tashien. The utter degradation that she discovers is beyond words. Opium addiction has become a problem in Velona, her home town. Crime there is escalating and must be handled. The opium is coming from Tashien. Up in the Northern Steppes, invaders from Tashien are waging war against the nomads of the Steppes. The world is slowly coming unhinged. Follow the exploits of Bethany and her friends as they tackle three major problems at the same time.
