And your sacred stars won’t be guiding you
I’ve got blood
I’ve got blood on my name.

– ‘Blood on My Name,’ The Brothers Bright

After long years, Starfleet finally seeks to make good on ancient promises to find suitable homes for Romulan survivors of the Supernova. Long negotiations have forged an agreement to relocate some residents of the Teros Refugee Hub to a small settlement on the border world of Alfheim, the main Federation colony of the Midgard Sector, and home to Gateway Station. But this delicate and controversial process is critically endangered by the brutal and ritualistic murder of a Romulan refugee aboard the starbase, and at once factions turn on another, with centuries-old grievances rising to the forefront. At the heart of the chaos is Commander Adamant Rhade, haunted by insights into the murder he cannot possibly explain, and driven through guilt about his own blood-soaked past to uncover the truth.

Hundreds of light-years away, the USS Endeavour continues its journey back to the Midgard Sector after her displacement by Borg transwarp. After weeks in uninhabited space beyond all known borders, studying the wonders of the galaxy, the crew at last re-enter the former territory of the fallen Romulan Star Empire. Here, clues lead them to an ancient and seemingly abandoned world of the Empire, and a mystery that could not possibly be linked to a murder on Gateway Station an empire away…
