Serenity races against time to save Inara's life in an original Firefly tie-in novel that reads like a lost episode from the show.

A deadly disease.

Months after Inara leaves Serenity, Mal and the crew finally learn the reason for her sudden departure: she is dying of a terminal illness. It is Kiehl's Myeloma, a form of cancer that is supposedly incurable, and Inara has very little time left.

A disreputable scientist.

Through their shock and despair, rumors of a cure reach the crew. Expert Esau Weng is said to have developed a means to treat Inara's condition, but he has been disgraced and incarcerated for life on a notorious Alliance prison planet.

An infamous prison.

On the planet of Atata, inmates are abandoned with no guards and left to survive as best they can. What's more, terraforming the planet did not take properly, so the world is a frozen wasteland. To save Inara, the Serenity crew must infiltrate the prison and find a way to reach Weng, who is being held in solitary confinement.

The Serenity crew is a diverse group of individuals with their own unique skills and personalities. Captain Mal Reynolds is a former smuggler who is now the captain of Serenity, a spaceship that travels the galaxy. He is a tough and experienced leader who is always ready to take on a challenge.

Inara Serra is a former Companion who was left behind on the planet of Serenity when the crew left to save the Operative. She is a skilled pilot and a talented artist who is fiercely loyal to her friends.

Jayne Cobb is a former soldier who was recruited by Mal to join the crew of Serenity. He is a skilled fighter and a bit of a rogue, but he is also a loyal and caring member of the crew.

Simon Tam is a former medical student who was recruited by Mal to join the crew of Serenity. He is a compassionate and intelligent doctor who is always willing to help those in need.

River Tam is a young and mysterious girl who was rescued by the crew of Serenity. She is a powerful psychic who is able to communicate with other people's minds and bodies.

The Serenity crew must navigate through a dangerous and treacherous prison, where they face a variety of challenges and obstacles. They must avoid the guards and other inmates, who are all out to get them. They must also find a way to reach Weng, who is being held in solitary confinement.

As they make their way through the prison, the Serenity crew learns more about Weng and his research on Kiehl's Myeloma. They discover that Weng has developed a treatment that can cure Kiehl's Myeloma, but he has been unable to test it on humans due to the restrictions of the Alliance.

The Serenity crew is determined to save Inara's life, and they are willing to do whatever it takes to reach Weng and get him the treatment he needs. They face a difficult and dangerous journey, but they are determined to succeed.

In the end, the Serenity crew is able to save Inara's life. They reach Weng and get him the treatment he needs, and Inara is able to recover from her terminal illness. The crew of Serenity is hailed as heroes, and their journey to save Inara is remembered as a legendary adventure.
