A city of peace. A whisper of chaos. A legacy at stake.
Lyonesse is a beacon of unity in a fractured galaxy, a space-based city-state built on the dream of integration and peace. For Danny Andela, it's not just home-it's her mission. As a fierce advocate for dissolving old feuds, Danny has spent decades working to unite the Carinad, Terran, and Bai worlds.
But something is wrong in Lyonesse. A series of weird malfunctions-some laughable, others deadly-hint at deeper troubles within the city's core. As whispers of unease ripple through its gleaming domes, Danny battles growing paranoia, questioning allies, and doubting the systems she once championed. Her fight for peace becomes a desperate race to uncover the truth before a catastrophic failure silences Lyonesse forever. Or should she? Is Lyonesse the shade of an old enemy? Danny must confront ghosts-and the terrible echoes of the war she thought she'd left behind. Will she stop the chaos in time, or will Lyonesse become the spark that reignites the galaxy's divisions?

Praise for Cam's previous two Hammer series:
Wow, what a ride. Deep complex, wonderful world building and character development. ...it was what happened to the cast of characters that made this series so enthralling for me. An incredible set of stories. There is nothing else out there like this.
