Chrys
A hero of the battle for the Thirteenth System, Chrys was part of a small group that waged a stealth war against unspeakable evil for years. Battle weary, the enemy defeated, all he wants is to return to his interrupted career as a technologist and engineer at one of the Thirteen Systems' mighty cartels. Instead, a mysterious bequest from the Master Scholar who trained him, calls Chrys home to distant Genji. Unable to delay critical technology development, he takes his engineering partner with him. It is not the first time he has worked side by side with Verity on a stellar transport, but as the voyage unfolds, he discovers a lovely woman in the place of his battle comrade.
Verity
Verity has harbored a hidden crush on Chrys for years. As much as she wants him to view her as a desirable woman, it is clear he considers her only a friend, battle comrade, and business associate. Assigned to assist him in developing technology critical to the colonization of the Thirteenth System, she is thrilled when it means traveling with him to Genji.
At the outer edge of the galaxy, on a backwater planet, Chrys discovers a legacy that will alter his future while Verity fights for her dreams.
