Pricon is handed an impossible choice: abandon the fight for his homeworld, or risk everything on an alien procedure that might save the wife he thought he'd already lost. As the council quietly reverses its stand to defend the capital, a desperate offer from an old ally forces Pricon to question how far he'll go for hope.
