Jax's sister is afraid Jax is going to ruin her wedding. Meanwhile, Jax just wants to be free from so many chores and expectations.
When his friends on Teluthia warn him about a possible invasion, he feels only more weight added to his burden. However, according to most officials on the foreign world, the crashed starship full of dead soldiers in full fighting gear is nothing more than a well-prepared exploration party.
Jax and his friends know better, but they may be too late.
Together, Jax, the creature Tranto and the Teluthians make a desperate stand against the threat that seeks to destroy their world.
But it is not the darkness of Teluthia's decimation that overshadows Tranto and, thereby, Jax. As victory appears within reach, a shadow falls, and nothing remains as it should.
