Are there any former inquisitors? “They are,” thought Alexandra, hijacking the ship - to freedom, to the frontier, to the backyards of star empires. She gave up a successful career, left her place in the hierarchy of Monomyth citizens, only to lose everything in the blink of an eye. Alexandra has found both a new ship and friends, because the desperate are doomed to each other: on her crew there is a fugitive searching for five years of lost memory, and a guardswoman unable to live without the cold. Of course, Alexandra will find new goals and enemies, but the most difficult thing awaits her ahead, because the former inquisitor will have to find herself.
