Jarek Reen is trying to save a lost world - but the cost may destroy it ...
When Jarek Reen found a lost world, everything changed.
Everyone believes the Sidhe, humanity's one-time rulers, are long dead. But Jarek knows better, and he's on a mission to expose and destroy them.
Jarek discovered Serenein, a world isolated by the Sidhe for their own foul purposes, and helped break their hold. Now he wants Serenein to rejoin the rest of humanity. But bringing a primitive theocratic dictatorship into the light is no easy matter, and linking this lost world into human-space has a high price.
With his two assassin companions, Jarek must travel to a system far outside human-space, a place as sophisticated as Serenein is backward. Aleph is controlled by the male Sidhe, eternal enemies of the females and one-time allies of humanity. But these days they have their own agenda, and Jarek's about to learn, the painful way, that assuming your enemy's enemy is your friend can be a lethal mistake.
