Framed for an assassination she didn't commit, Cassy must prove her innocence to bring a life-saving technology back to her home planet. When freelance spaceship captain Cassy discovers an assassin at the wedding of her ex-lover Prince Stephen, she fights to wrench his rifle away. But a stray blast shoots into the royal party and kills Queen Triana. Knocked unconscious, Cassy wakes to find herself holding the murder weapon, the assassin gone, and a squad of guards who condemn her as guilty. Facing certain execution, Cassy breaks out of jail with Prince Stephen's help, and they escape together. Taking refuge in a secret underground lab, they learn of a forbidden technology hidden in a spaceship and sent beyond the rim of the galaxy. Retrieving it promises plentiful food for everyone, but the journey lies through a supposedly impenetrable barrier. Even if they achieve the impossible, they cannot return until they prove Cassy's innocence. So, they must infiltrate a dangerous rebel army on another world to unmask the real assassin
