[Citadel Trilogy 02] • Paths in Darkness

Book Two of the Citadel Series

Against all odds, on an unchartered world, the souls of First Colony have been restored to life, and a centuries old wrong has been righted — but at a terrible cost.

On the planet’s surface, a young woman struggles to reclaim her mind from the strange aftereffects of the cancellation wave.

High above, the struggling colony’s last hope for returning to civilization slowly falls from orbit, as two men face death to prevent it.

And as human and Esool alike struggle for survival, a new species emerges that can be their savior — or their most dangerous enemy.
