A war in the balance. A Republic's desperate gamble. Only Tenacity will make the difference.

Still patching up damage from her last fight, Tenacity is summoned to a mustering of the Sanctuarian Fleet. The Admiralty sees an opportunity to break the intergalactic stalemate with their enemies, the Star Empire of Golgotha. And Captain Dath Raker and his battle-tested crew will be a part of it.

But what the Republic believes is a weak spot in the Empire's star-spanning lines is actually bait. The spidery alien Mistresses of Golgotha, the Arathra, care little for the cost to the human crews of their starships; they will spend them freely, if they can lure the Republic into disaster.

Star fleets, destinies, and lives will collide in that icy expanse beyond the stars.

Many won't survive the bedlam that follows.
