Since the ancient days the Serenity Ordus has been ruled by the five houses of the High Table, each controlling a moon of the Klemperer Rosette.

Terry left Serenity, searching for a new life amongst the stars, but after a taste of the greater universe, she wants to return home to a place she understands.

But the galaxy has other plans for her, and Terry's return is fraught with danger--both to herself and the Ordus.
