Stone in the Sky

Tula Bane remains the only human aboard the Yertina Feray space station, still carrying anger toward Brother Blue, who caused her mother’s and sister’s deaths. When a valuable plant is found on the planet Quint, prospectors arrive to claim its riches. Tula travels there as well, focused on cooperation among species while the ruling Imperium works against it. The return of Reza and Caleb also brings her unresolved attachments and romantic feelings into view.
