And, twelve years later, she cannot argue with the results of her raising: world fame, professional prestige, and relative safety. And, just as Byron planned, caught between the conflicting expectations of her sly boss, pirate captains, and military officers, Anya has learned to keep the delicate balance of these three volatile organizations.
