Stars Die

When the portal opens, someone is dead!

The Realm is a sprawling interstellar society; predominantly human, but including magic practitioners. At its heart is Caldryn Parliament, and Vanda Kavanagh is its new Warden, guardian of ancient and arcane secrets.

After five years on the frontier, Vanda has to re-establish her reputation in Forum City. She must prove that she can hold the parliamentary wards and hold her own in the swirling, treacherous political waters where a murderer is lurking.

Her new gremlin sidekick is an added complication as malice and magic create a perfect trap. Can Vanda avoid it—or will she be the one setting it?

Never underestimate a wardkeeper.
