Still separated by the planets where they are, Maxim and Ivy long for one another as they face some of the greatest challenges of their lives.
On Penthos, a discovery on the ship creates chaos and causes Maxim to reach out to Avery for help, hoping he can rely on the knowledge of the human pilot to keep everyone safe. It is the words of his father, however, that remind him that his greatest priority is still the woman he loves and the life that they are building together. When he sets out on a mission by himself, he encounters danger that might take all of it away forever.
On Uoria, Ivy is still trying to understand the patient file page that she found hidden in the wall of the war room. As they try to unravel this mystery, she struggles with strange feelings that make her question the progress of her pregnancy. When emergency strikes, she must rely on her own inner strength and the courage that thoughts of Maxim gives her to persevere.
