A beautiful gemstone against the backdrop of the endless, star-filled void, the planet beckoned the Sector Command carrier and her intrepid crew as a parent would to its long-departed child. But all was not as it seemed. What was expected to be a barren, war-ravaged planet was in fact a life-sustaining body, with far less damage than both the Office of Special Intelligence and the Unified Council had previously reported. ...

Talen is a Stalker, a bounty hunter hired by the Marshal Service to hunt down humans stained by dark magic. She's also a two-gun witch, one of the few elven women who can wield two magical revolvers, spell irons, at once. For three years she's lived for the next bounty, and a whisper of vengeance for the destruction of her people. That changes when she takes the warrant on Margaret Jameson, a new kind of stained, one immune to the usual tools of collection. Upon finding her quarry, Talen realizes Margaret isn't stained at all, but someone worked very hard to make her appear so.
