In the third book of the Thousand Eye Universe series, Vilstair seeks justice for Xixiao. As she seeks out those responsible for his death, she finds a terrible conspiracy, led by a ruthless man who uses and abuses everyone he can. There are many more people who need Vilstair's help than she ever imagined. Can she find a way to save them all?

In order to fulfil her self-imposed mission, Vilstair will work alongside a special operative from the Gray. Ranakur is a telepath who finds Vilstair fascinating because he cannot easily read her mind. He is powerful, but vulnerable. If Vilstair fails, he will suffer worse than anyone else.

The merchant Brovdonvik wants money and power, and will get them however he can. Only the strong and the determined survive, and he is both. He will take advantage of his friends, his employees, and everyone else under his power – including children. If he fails, a terrible fate awaits him, but he has a secret weapon that no one else knows about.

Unseen forces continue to watch events. Someone hates Vilstair, but also wishes for justice for Xixiao and freedom for those being abused.
