Killed in a car crash, Lisa Japlon Black has no intention of letting her husband of twenty-six years remain a widower.

"My death devastated Haakon. How can your Vasir Kai be happy when his father is mourning so intensely?"

Aresta's black alien eyes glittered with anger. "Our Vasir Kai? He's also your son. If you want me to arrange another life for you, you'll pay a price. An agreement. Never interfere with our mission to serve Vasir Kai - or you risk being murdered, again."

"Fine. Yes. I agree. Just send me back to Haakon. He needs me"
