Description

Xander Taluti is dead, and his brother Zane has called a halt to the feud with the Andruses.

As the two clans attempt to return to peacetime, it appears happily ever after is in store for everyone. Kit openly declares his love for Miranda; Niki and Ardala prepare for their long-wished-for wedding; and other secret romances are now revealed.

Nevertheless, Dominic's plans to transform his family into law-abiding citizens are thwarted when the Gataen police invade the House of Andrus and old nemesis Detective Ceran Synubis arrests Dom, Kit, and Niki.

In the clutches of an alien justice system where a man is guilty until proven otherwise, Miranda finds herself the prosecution's chief witness in a trial where the truth may convict the man she loves of a crime he didn't commit, and only a miracle—or a long-hidden secret—can save him.
