High above the surface of the galactic capital of Calindrea orbits Oculus Nine. Housed within its glass walls are the knowledge and secrets of those who call the galaxy home. Controlled by the Omnium Order, a secretive sect of females from all species, outsiders are not welcome. What goes in does not go out. Given to the Eye as a child, Neev Kaesong has dedicated her life to knowledge and found her talents. The lone human raised by the women of the order, she’s walked the fine line between loneliness and contentment. Her peace is shattered when she’s violently abducted from her quarters one night. Commander Raiz Asterean trusts no one aside from those under his command. When rumblings of a new power begin to stir in the dark corners of his planet he has no choice but to take Neev in defiancé of the Eye. She’s the only one who can translate the ancient text that can give Raiz the knowledge to change and defy the rituals of his planet. With each passing day Raiz begins to realize that Neev isn’t who he thought she was. She’s not even who she thought she was. Neither of them are ready for the answers they find.
