Kailey Jackson never wanted to be a fighter. All she'd wanted out of life was to be normal. To fit in with Humans after being raised by Kitsoonay, to master the Asur language, to discover their hidden outposts¿ and to maybe solve the mystery of their disappearance. But after her academic ambitions resulted in the invasion of her homeworld, Kailey's quiet life spiraled into one disastrous adventure after another. She became a mercenary, embraced her Kitsoonay soul, and found a new family. A family she would do anything to protect-including bonding with the last Asur Warbird. With Kailey's fate irrevocably tied to the Warbird, finding the Asur is no longer an academic pursuit. It's her only hope for survival. But the Knights aren't the only ones searching for the Asur, and Kailey will have to risk everything she's fought for-her old home, her found family, her new life-in order to save the Asur from their ancient enemy. And maybe save herself one last time.
