Heris Serrano--formerly a commander in the Regular Space Service--must take whatever job she can get after her resignation under a cloud.

But events conspire to make it far more than a fox hunt.

Cajoled into going by his wife, who is anxious to ingratiate herself with the locals of their new village, Tristan's companions are Pastis-swilling tough guys with designs beyond catching dinner.
