The Cerulean Sister

Will the tether Ferren forged with the 99th Commander be enough to prevent the unrest in the three worlds from ripping them apart?Despite being haunted by the echoes of the priestess order she left behind, Ferren is determined to create a home on Viathan and dispel any lingering effects of a lifetime spent in fear.But as Ferren puts down solid roots, a voice from her past calls out from across the space between worlds, beckoning her home. Cosima's message brings news of her sister's return to the estate and the inevitable danger that comes with it, leaving Ferren no choice but to intervene. She plays a torturous game of deceit in order to dismantle the systems that keep her sister and so many others under its rule. The mission becomes a complicated dance of avoiding old comforts that too easily creep to the forefront of her mind and reconciling with a sister she thought she would never see again.Amidst these struggles, Ferren and 99 discover that they cannot always depend on her telepathy to fill in the blanks of their relationship, so they are forced to find a means to communicate and uncover intimacy in a way they previously believed to be beyond their capabilities.Even though the 99th Commander pledges himself to the safety of both Ferren and her sister, he will have to teeter the line of what he is prepared to do and what is lawful in the eyes of his emperors. And as the first wave of evil invades, ringing the bell of war, Ferren has to learn to rely on 99 and her found family to not only save her sister before she's lost to the priestess order's crimes but also to eliminate those who intend to destroy the three worlds completely.
