Ren, a technopathic star host, wakes from life-threatening injuries to find his love, Asher, has returned to the Phoenix Corps. Though the Corps believes Ren is dead, he’s determined to fix his mistakes and convinces the crew of the Star Stream to join him on a final, dangerous mission: find Asher, free his brother Liam, and escape the Corps forever.

But a war is brewing, and Ren is drawn into the conflict. With the fate of his found family—and the whole star cluster—hanging in the balance, Ren must embrace his power and make a choice that could save them all, or destroy everything he holds dear. For fans of character-driven sci-fi, LGBTQ+ romance, and thrilling space adventures.
