Brother Rordan came to at a monks' temple with no memory of who he was or where he'd been, and he's content to leave his forgotten life in the past. All that matters is his future as a monk in service to the all-knowing stars.

Dasha Caron crash-landing at his temple changes everything for him: she makes him question his beliefs and monk's lifestyle. She also brings the devastating news that he's really a cyborg, and he has a price on his head.
