NEW ENTRY IN THE LANDMARK LIADEN UNIVERSE(R) SERIES
Jethri Gobelyn has risen far: from despised youngest on a Terran family
Loop ship to second trader on premier Liaden tradeship Elthoria under
the guidance of his unlikely foster-mother Norn ven'Deelin Clan Ixin.
Master Trader ven'Deelin has taught Jethri much, and she expects great
things from him. Indeed, one might say she demands them.
Jethri has inherited a mission from his father, a plan that will allow
family Loop ships like the one he grew up on to survive the encroachment
of Rostov's Dust. In this, he's backed by several prominent Looper
families who are scheduled to meet and plan at the South Axis Trade
Fair.
In what seems to be a fortunate pairing of missions, Master Trader
ven'Deelin sees Jethri become lead trader on his own small ship, which
is scheduled to arrive at the South Axis Fair.
Unfortunately, that "fortunate coincidence" may instead be a test of
Jethri's loyalties, as he's thrust into a tangle of grey-trading,
mistaken identity, misinformation, and galactic politics. . . .
