Challenges force the couple to blend the responsibilities of unification and family with their unique combination of skill and experience in statesmanship. Meanwhile, history careens along a perilous path. Dedicated diplomats confront growing risks as they doggedly pursue peaceful initiatives.

Confident that the elusive Zeteron Empire is on the verge of shifting to an open challenge, many Alliance leaders see disaster looming in the near future. Under the shadow of this threat, questions arise over the union's will to resist an apparent march toward galactic war.Dark times create doubt in the minds of even the most faithful of Chikondra's spiritual guides. When an old fairy tale is recalled, they realize that bits and pieces of the unsettling present appear oddly similar to the ancient legend. Does coincidence play games with the enchanted story? Or does this fable ring bells of warning?
