After the seeming defeat of the dark archon Ulrezaj on the protoss
homeworld of Aiur, Jake and Rosemary become separated as they flee
through the newly repaired warp gate. Rosemary finds herself with the
other refugee protoss on Shakuras, while Jake is catapulted elsewhere.
But Jake does not have long to live: their enemies are regrouping, and
Zamara's essence must be separated from Jake's mind before time runs
out.
