Tommy had never been in jail before. You had to try really hard to get arrested on Natilus, and he'd spent seventeen years there not trying that hard at anything. All he'd seen of Theril so far was the jail, he'd been locked up almost as soon as his shuttle landed. Mind you, being accused of mass murder probably counted as "trying hard" anywhere.

Keldaren had been born on Theril, dragged herself up there, made friends, made money, and lost both. It was beautiful, but she wasn't sure that it would be home much longer. Regardless of the titles, the money and the designer wardrobe, there were only so many murders, plots and accidents a girl could take before she was forced out of town.

The third book in the Handmaiden series.
