The Breadth of Creation (The Divine Space Pirates, #2)

Aerie and Exton have been tragically separated. Believing it to be impossible to get Aerie back from the tyrannical grasp of the URS, Exton allows himself to be pushed into war with the help of Aerie's mother, Merra. Meanwhile, Aerie desperately tries to escape her home, even though it only leads to more trouble.
