A Missing Agent and a Growing Conspiracy
Peacekeeper Kaelan Andrews begins a relentless search after Agent Elysia Renard disappears during a mission connected to the deadly Voidborn Syndicate. His investigation brings him to Elysia’s two adult children, Elley and Derin, both of whom become personally involved in the effort to discover what happened to their mother.
Elley’s striking resemblance to Elysia creates an emotional conflict for Kaelan, whose unresolved feelings remain closely tied to the missing agent. Derin, Elysia’s sharp and androgynous non-binary child, is fiercely protective of Elley while privately developing a powerful attraction to Kaelan.
As the investigation continues, Kaelan begins questioning the Peacekeeper Coalition and the uniform he wears. Evidence suggests that Elysia may have uncovered information that influential people wanted concealed. The search forces Kaelan to reconsider old loyalties while navigating a galaxy where allies and enemies are increasingly difficult to distinguish.
