Widow Graysky’s mood improved tenfold once she had received the reverse dowry, and she was quickly out of sight to fetch her daughter. Valenteen didn’t quite believe that Rensor had merely undergone a bout memory loss, but since Wandry had not condemned the aide, the commander took to other tasks as he waited for the most important piece of ‘cargo’ to arrive. He was finishing the Death’s Vein’s final inspection with Erik and Jake when Grip boarded. “Is anything wrong, Grip?” Valenteen asked. ...

Trangor L’sa’s sun had just begun to escape the horizon. Cloudia was headed for the main hangar, which was home to most of the famous Death Fleet, including Valenteen’s favorite ship, the Death’s Vein. Of course the fleet itself was really more sinister in title than in fact.

Cloudia navigated the base’s corridors with routine ease...
