The threat of war once again looms over the galaxy. After the Cerberus massacre, the Stella Empire grows desperate to recover lost systems to avoid economic collapse. Those systems have formed a nation of their own - the Katelyn Ascendancy, named after a hero who stopped an ancient evil, or so legend says - and this nation has no intention of helping the empire in any way.

As tensions rise between leaders of the Stella Empire and Katelyn Ascendancy, Lilian is reunited with an old friend from her per-adventuring years - a Vigilante, Bard, and Princess known as Carrie Autumnheart, daughter of rulers of the Katelyn Ascendancy, Adquin and Oolara Autumnheart. Years later, both Lilian and Carrie face their own personal problems as they try to adjust to the conflict around them.
