Lhaurel has saved the Rahuli, but now she is trapped in a restless slumber, haunted by nightmares from the battle in the Oasis. The madman who tried to destroy the clans is safely locked away in the Roterralar Warren but continues to warn them of a looming threat from outside the Forbiddance—a threat far worse than the genesauri. The Orinai are coming.

Captain Amara Corrin, hero of the late Solar Wars, commands the first colonial fleet. Full of hopeful dreamers looking for a new home, world-weary ex-soldiers, and those just seeking escape, five ships set out from Earth with the hopes of humanity behind them. But Amara soon finds herself with more trouble than she can handle. The Council, Earth’s new governing body, has saddled her with their political rivals, exiling them to a place where they could do them no harm.

For nine months of the year, the sands of the Sharani Desert are safe. The genesauri - giant, flying, serpentine monsters who hunt across the desert in enormous packs - lie dormant. The smallest of their kind is able to take down a single man with ease, and the largest is able to swallow entire clans. The people of the desert have always been able to predict the creatures' appearance, but this year the genesauri have stopped following the rules.
