The crew of the Boundless is contacted by an archaeologist who has discovered the secret resting place of long-lost Tentu Sychi, but needs help to access it.
He says he will use the temple's legendary power to save his terminally ill wife, a dear friend of Loren's who has been in suspended animation for almost a decade.
How can Loren and the crew say no?
Within the temple, an ancient machine promises life for its users. But the powers contained in Tenctu Sychi come with a price, not just for those who use it, but perhaps for every living creature in the Four Arms of the Galaxy.
Join Loren, V'Hati, Daxa and Bandaw as they battle a malevolent entity that threatens to claim the entire galaxy--and everything living thing in it--as her own.
