"... an epic story in the making...." (Booklist)
There's a price on her head, and it has everything to do with the brand on her arm.
Tertian Space Coalition has blessed every planet in the quadrants with high technology, save one: Drosero. But in spite of their tenuous treaty with the ruling clans, TSC has plans for the backward planet. And they're not alone.
After a catastrophic explosion, Kersei Dragoumis awakens in a derelict shuttle, alone, injured, and ignorant of the forbidden technology that has swept her into a nightmare. The brand she's borne since childhood burns mysteriously, but the pain is nothing to that when she learns her family is dead and she is accused of their murders.
Across the quadrants, Marco Dusan responds to the call of a holy order-not to join them, but to seek a bounty. Gifted - or cursed - with abilities that mark him a Kynigos, a tracker sworn to bring interplanetary fugitives to justice, Marco discovers this particular bounty has nothing to do with justice and everything to do with prophecy. One that involves the hunter as much as the hunted.

Outstanding narration
Adam Gold, is possibly the most talented male narrator I have come across and I will definitely be looking for more books voiced by him.
The book itself I am conflicted about. As I was listening, rather than reading, it as I worked, I found the first third very confusing as the story skipped between many characters and locations. This would have been much easier to keep track of in the written form.
The plot and world-building did drag me in, but I have to admit I found the ending depressing for every single person and the lead up to the sequel seems even more so. Nothing like being told you have a truckload of hardship, war and pain bearing down on you. Also, what happened with prophecy? That was very unclear to me.
