Summary: Yared has traveled a long way to find his place in the universe. Light years, even. Though the battle of Addis Prime is over, the spacefaring Axum Empire is still fractured.

Now, having been missing for over a decade, they're returning to the planet where their galaxy-spanning civilization began--Earth.
