The space vendetta began centuries before the birth of Masato Igarashi Storm. His grandfather attacked the planet Prefactl and carried out a massacre, freeing human slaves from their Sangari masters. But one of the Sangaris survived. The young heir to the Norbon clan vowed revenge on the Storm family and their soldiers. He came up with a sophisticated plan, the implementation of which could take several generations. And now Gnei, Masato’s father, is forced to fight for the wealth that the fiery half of the planet Chernomir stores. While powerful private armies from all over the cosmos converge in battle on the narrow Shadow Line that separates the burning hell from the life-giving shadow, Gnaeus's half-brother Michael plays his own game - the fatal game of a traitor.
