  Oen and Jarred help Dolana establish a new colony on Zeta, the planet selected three hundred years ago to showcase the benefits of collaboration. Previous attempts to settle Zeta were thwarted by The Order, corrupt and evil religious men who craved power and control. Thanks to Oen, Jarred, and their friends, The Order is defeated and removed from power, though not destroyed. But now a new threat appears that is determined to destroy the fledgling colony. The same advanced androids sent to help build the colony suddenly turn destructive. Only with the help of an advanced android sent by Darrik Madron, the head of a rich and powerful family descended from a space pirate , are Oen, Jarred, and the other colonists able to save the colony. The person directing the rogue androids, Councilman Gorm, is a rich scientist from the advanced civilization where Oen and Jarred's daughter lives and works.The two men are close friends with several others from that planet, including the world leader and her mate. Gorm's plans are discovered and he is forced to flee along with some sycophant followers and a team of androids operated by an artificial intelligence. Darrik cuts the flow of funds to Gorm but is not able to capture him. Damaged in a fire fight with Darrik's men and machines, Gorm transfer his consciousness into an android fashioned to look just like him. Now he has unlimited time to plot his domination of the galaxy. Gorm in his new android body now sets his sights on controlling The Order and their many hidden pockets of wealth and information. With caution and secrecy, Gorm replicates the top leadership tiers within The Order, replacing the men with android copies that he controls. When Gorm attempts to capture and replicate Lady Saphora Madron, Darrik extracts details of Gorm's plans from Gorm's secret cloaked base. Soon there is open warfare that leads to the destruction of the Madron mansion and the relocation of Gorm to an obscure planet where The Order has a secret

  A plan. A sensible, efficient, and most definitely unrushed plan. 
   
   
   
  Every dwarf has one. Dwarves in general are like rhinos—slow to get going, but unstoppable once they do. 
   
   
   
  The dwarf named Crow is no exception. He has a plan, too: one that is properly thorough, unhurried, and carefully laid out. This is the plan he has been following since the day he arrived at the Gray Peak outpost. 
   
   
   
  In this case, the only option left is to rely on his own experience as a seasoned adventurer, as well as the help of his loyal friends: the assassin Lori, the bard Amou, and the relentless digger . . . that is, the cardmaster Mith. 
   
   
   
  The earth quakes; the old enemy is already getting suspicious and beginning to devise his deadly schemes again; clan spies wander around the House on the Hill; the flame of the undead's uprising rages underground; a high inquisitor has arrived at the outpost . . . But the stubborn players continue to push toward their goal by always keeping two steps ahead. And as for the winged old enemy? Soon, he, too, will taste the vengeance of the heavy hammer of the businesslike dwarf Crow, the owner of the ravine of Gray Peak . . .
