Desperation, longing, and vengeance collide in the thrilling conclusion to this story about an ecologist fighting to save and preserve the galaxy’s natural treasures. Tayla Gyle seeks to escape her Imperial captors and track down the Jedi--her former partner--who betrayed her to the Empire. Cly'Bo, the magnificent Vornskr, has been stolen by Seric Vahl for an unknown purpose. But Tayla will stop at nothing to find the animal and return her to the wilds of Myrkr.
