Dick Award-winning These Burning Stars, the explosive space opera debut that launched the dangerous cat-and-mouse quest for revenge that will define a people forever. The Jeveni have finally found freedom on the distant planet Capamame, delivered from Kindom oppression through their alliance with stoic Cleric Chono, intrepid caster Jun Ironway, and Six, the wildly unpredictable manipulator who has outwitted the Nightfoot family.
