While desperately trying to recover from the traumatic events that he'd experienced on the planet Alira Prime, Orin and his small team of Temporal Security agents are sent to the fifty-seventh parallel of the Magellanic Cloud system where an assassination is about to occur in an attempt to stop a grand wedding that could bring the brutal war between planet of Kadesh and the planet of Nahtara to a peaceful conclusion. Will the Temporal Security team be able to stop the assassination before it's too late? Or will Orin and his team wind up killing the very individual they've sworn to protect?
