Sarya Is The Galaxy's Worst Nightmare: A Human. Fortunately, She's The Last One. Adopted And Raised By A Terrifying, Fiercely Maternal Spider-like Alien, Sarya Has Lived On A Space Station Her Entire Life, Keeping Her Identity As A Galactic Boogeyman Secret Even As She Puzzles Over The Impossible Questions Behind Her Own Existence. How It Is That She, And She Alone, Is The Sole Survivor Of A Race That Was Supposedly Wiped Out Centuries Ago? Who--or What--has Set Itself Against Humanity? And What Made The Humans So Special--or So Frightening--that They Warranted Such Treatment? When A Strange Visitor Recognizes Sarya As Human And Makes Her An Irresistible Offer, She's Convinced She's About To Get The Answers She Needs--until A Series Of Vicious Attacks Leaves Her World Shattered. Suddenly She's Running For Her Life, A Step Ahead Of Rioting Inhabitants And Terrifying Enforcers. Together With A Band Of Misfits And Cutthroats--including A Sentient Spacesuit, A Pint-sized Alien Genius Named Sandy, And A Borderline-immortal Android--she Makes For The Depths Of Space Aboard A Stolen Ship, In Search Of The Truth Behind Her Existence. What She Discovers Is That Humanity's Death Was But One Chess Move In A War Played Out Across Light-years And Centuries, By Beings With Minds So Vast And Alien That They Might As Well Be Gods. Amongst Their Manipulations, Sarya Might--just Might--see A Path To Giving Humanity A Second Chance. But To Walk It, She'll Have To Make A Terrible Choice...and Become Something Greater, And More Alien, Than She Ever Imagined
