Responding to a distress call from Captain Jonathan "Coop" Cooper, Sabin knows she must race against time to find him and his ship. Because although the Ivoire becomes the latest ship to enter foldspace and not return, she refuses to give up hope.
She resolves to find the Ivoire. But her search for answers will lead to truths that will change her life forever.
