Humans are capable of the worst treachery. We'd only just escaped the clutches of slavery when they came for him. My yeva, my other half, accused of going AWOL—abandoning his people. They took him from me, forced him to go to Earth to stand trial for his alleged crimes. I had no choice but to follow. I could never leave him to face any danger alone. But in doing so, I revealed myself to those who hate aliens more than anything else in the universe—the United Planetary Council. They've accused me of treachery, conspiracy to destabilize the system, and they're out for blood. Walter is convinced he can fix this from the inside, play the political game to clear our names, but I've learned a truth that will destroy all hope. How can I save Kaidan, when it seems I cannot save myself?
