Those who are able bunk down for the long, frozen sleep, across the cosmos to one of many planets, take their cues from the young captain, as prepared as they can be for the trek ahead. The T'sari welcome them with open arms to Alpha Terra 4, but they aren't the only voices coming from the far off new home Lyda's colony is hoping for. Will the colony survive the trip?

Lynx comes from a planet where females are honorable and could never refuse the word of the Goddess.

They both plan to run away until her mother forces her to meet with the Goddess of Beginnings and find her mate. She finds out she is tied to a male named Scorpius on the planet Ocura, which is said to be one of the most dangerous planets to inhabit.
