Dear Reader,
After completing Of Stars and Secrets, I felt Skyler needed her own story. What you hold here is the next twenty years of her life. In an effort to keep all of the characters in front of you, I’ve moved around from Dulsar to Suma to Second Earth, as well as keeping track of what Zondinal and Yarrie are up to in their isolated sectors of Alliance Space. The lineage placed at the beginning is to assist you in remembering the relationships from Of Stars and Secrets, as well as new connections that are formed in this segment of the story. To help you follow the threads through the years and the various locations, I’ve given the dates and places at each chapter and scene break, if it was different from the previous one. I only mention the galaxies the first time I name the planet
