From High Society to the High Frontier--Two Siblings Explore the Stars! Two privileged but disillusioned heirs trade high society for the high frontier and learn just how far from home they've truly come. Eddy Lancaster never asked for purpose. He's content to be a gentleman of leisure, with good friends and a dedicated valet to keep him out of trouble. When a report of a vanished expedition is discovered, with the enticing possibility of a hitherto unknown alien race and the possibility of advanced technology, his eccentric adventurer uncle spirits him and his brilliant twin sister away on a quest beyond the Frontier and away from the comforts of their homeworld. Effie Lancaster has spent her life dedicated to science but fearing that she'd never see her dreams realized. Now, she's seizing a last, desperate chance to prove her worth--to her academic peers, her family, and most of all herself. What waits for her in the mysterious Ashvins Binary Star System is more than scientific discovery--it's an ancient secret that can devour entire civilizations.
