A soldier walks into a bar on a neutral planet, and a cute boy in an enemy uniform tries to pick her up. Is this the start of true love? She doesn’t think so, but it kindles a desperate desire to learn more about him. Her interest is not romantic; it’s strategic. He just doesn’t come across to her as one of the sadistic aristocrats of the Eube Concord, and Sauscony Valdoria, commander of an elite Jagernaut squadron, wants to know why. There’s also a personal reason for her interest in the enemies of the Skolian Imperilate, she’s one of the heir to the empire, and she’s will to put her considerable cybernetic and telepathic military training into finding out more.
