Publisher's summary[[edit] | edit source]
While Bernice waits to see what Braxiatel is planning, she's getting back to her roots — investigating the site of a previously undiscovered civilisation. It isn't long however, before she's being pursued through the ruins by an implacable foe.
On her own, light-years from rescue, she must rely on her wits to survive and discover who wants her dead and buried.
