Tavelo Endaga is having a bad day. He awakens from a ten year deep sleep to find his coven overrun by factions from the other merchants. The last thing he remembered was fighting the emperor of his home world. Already feeling taken advantage of, he learns the other coven leaders have set interstellar trade in motion. Earth is not ready for such a leap in commerce, let alone the influx of aliens. While Tavelo struggles to get his house back in order, rein in the merchants, and deal with their home world's insane emperor, he encounters a new wrinkle. One that reveals the secrets of his bloodline.
