Jenny Tompkins left Earth with great hopes and dreams for her future. Yet six months later, she finds herself forgotten by her father, her best friend, Cassia, and the alien who had swept her off her feet while back on Earth, Cambra Jeiel Vernier.
Bored, Jenny decides to take matters into her own hands. Sneaking away, she ventures off into the unknown, hitching a ride to Zaratan, the city below Travaar, the palace where Cassia and her husband live, the rulers of the galaxy.
Unbeknownst to Jenny, the galaxy has fallen under attack and been put into complete lock down. Jeiel, supreme commander of the imperial forces of Valtor, has his hands full, only to learn that Jenny, the woman he loves, is now missing. Forced to leave the war at hand, Jeiel must battle the odds to rescue her from those who would exploit her. But will he get to her in time? Or face the possibility that she may be a casualty of war and be lost to him forever?
